Fishery Council: Scallop Catch Likely to Decline in 2021

Fishery Council: Scallop Catch Likely to Decline in 2021 PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - Federal regulators say America s scallop catch is likely to decline by more than a fifth in the coming year. The New England Fishery Management Council says in a statement that the catch is predicted to come in at about 40 million pounds. That s a dip from a projected 51.6 million this year and 60.5 million in 2018. The shellfish are among the most valuable marine resources in America. The fishery has been worth more than a half-billion dollars at the docks in each of the past three years. Most of the scallops come to the docks in New England, especially in New Bedford, Massachusetts. But many come ashore in New Jersey and Virginia.

America s scallop catch expected to dip by a fifth in 2021

America’s scallop catch expected to dip by a fifth in 2021 But the projected catch of about 40 million pounds would still be more than any of the years from 2013 to 2015. By PATRICK WHITTLEAssociated Press Robert F. Bukaty/Associated Press, file The United States’ scallop catch is likely to decline by more than a fifth in the coming year, federal regulators have said. The catch is predicted to come in at about 40 million pounds, the New England Fishery Management Council said in a statement. That’s a dip from a projected 51.6 million pounds this year and 60.5 million pounds in 2018. The scallop fishery has benefited from a very large number of new scallops that began growing in 2012 and 2013, said Janice Plante, a spokesperson for the council. Those scallops are reaching the end of their lives, and that likely means fewer will eventually find their way to the docks, she said.
