Age and Growth of the Giant Pacific Sea Scallop, Patinopecten caurinus , from the Strait of Georgia and Outer Washington Coast
At any given age, giant Pacific sea scallops, Patinopecten caurinus, from an inner coastal area of Washington (Strait of Georgia) were about 1.5 times as large as those from an outer coastal area (near Destruction Island). Annuli were apparently formed during the winter. Lee's phenomenon, i.e.,...
