Outdoor Rearing of Parent Scallop,Chlamys farreri

Parent scallops, Chlamys farreri were reared in an outdoor tank covered with plastic sheets for 30 days, where the total density of food organisms was over 60000 cells/ml by natural innoculation methods. The survival of the scallop was over 96% and its gonad reached maturity and spawned. Various biological parameters of the parent scallop were obviously better than those in the natural waters.
