Abstract
ABSTRACTIn Japan, farming of sea scallops (Patinopecten yessoensis) and abalone (Haliotis discus) is expanding at a rapid rate. Approximately 16 prefectural laboratories are producing 2 to 3 million seed abalone annually. These are sold to the fishermen for planting on natural grounds. Studies are underway to utilize heated water from power plants to speed up the abalone's growth. Plans are also underway to develop artificial growing grounds for abalone culture.Extensive areas in Hokkaido and Mutsu Bay (Honshu) are being utilized in the long‐line culture of scallops. It has been estimated that 40,000 tons of scallops will be harvested in 1972 and 100,000 tons may be produced in 1973.Some of the methods now being utilized to farm scallops and abalone in Japan could possibly be applied in the United States.
