摘要:The Shark Bay Scallop Managed Fishery catches the southern
saucer scallop (Amusium balloti), and is usually Western
Australia’s most valuable scallop fishery. The catch is taken using
otter trawl by boats licensed to take only scallops (14 Class A
licences) and boats that also fish for prawns in the Shark Bay
Prawn Managed Fishery (27 Class B licences). Catch in this
fishery varies widely depending on the strength of recruitment,
which is thought to be influenced by the strength of the Leeuwin
Current. Most of the catch is marketed to south-east Asia as
frozen scallop meat (¡®roe-off¡¯).
