This report concludes investigations into the economic and biological viability of scallop culture in Tasmania. Research into spat settlement and ongrowing methods has continued from the 1970's and the current TFDA and FIRTA funded programmes (1980-84) have successfully cultured scallops to legal, marketable size. The purpose of this report is to examine the economic feasibility of a scallop farming venture based upon traditional methods of culture.
