Abstract
The development of techniques for the cultivation of the scallops Pecten maximus (L.) and Chalamys opercularis (L.) is based on the collection of a mixture of naturally produced spat. These two species are required to be separated as soon as practicable. The greater motility of Chlamys and its tendency to byssally attach to vertical surfaces has allowed the development of a simple technique for separation. The method enables the removal of up to 93% of Chlamys whilst retaining 90% of the Pecten spat. The efficiency of the system is, however, affected by density and proportions of the species in the mixture.
