    The scallop disco accident…I had to find out…

    From “The Guardian” 18 May 2022:
    Marine scientist Dr Rob Enever and his team at Fishtek Marine, a fisheries consultancy based in Devon, designed small underwater “potlights” to help protect fish stocks by replacing the need to use fish to bait crab and lobster pots.

    The lights were supposed to attract crabs into the pots. But quite unexpectedly, scallops, which can have up to 200 eyes, were more attracted to the LED lights.

    Commercially, scallops are the most valuable fishery in England and the fourth most valuable in the UK. Most are caught by dredging, which at an industrial-scale is damaging to marine habitats. However, using scuba divers to hand-pick them is labour intensive, time-consuming and therefore more expensive.

    Enever hopes scallop potting could create a low-input, low-impact fishery that supplements the income of crab and lobster fishers with this high-value catch.

    • HA! Thanks Stephen!

      I had no idea that scallops can have that many eyes! I wonder if they will use some little disco balls and pipe in some Gloria Gaynor music too! LOL!

      Thanks for the follow-up!
