ABSTRACT Poor growth and low survival are often reported in hatchery-reared scallops early after settlement and metamorphosis. The effects of algal deprivation, substrate biofilm, and two algal cell concentrations (ca. 4.7 x [10.sup.3] and 4 x [10.sup.4] cells [mL.sup.-1]) on growth and survival were investigated during 9 days after settlement in experiment I, and the effects of the two algal concentrations were examined for 16 days post set in experiment 2. In experiment 1, the presence of a biofilm on the collectors significantly enhanced postlarval settlement, but not growth. ...
