ABSTRACT In the scope of expanding seeding operations of juvenile scallops (Placopecten magellanicus) around Iles-de-la-Madeleine (Quebec, Canada), this study assesses the influence of substrate on growth, survival, dispersal and predation rates in controlled experiments. Three substrates were tested: gravel, sand and sand with empty scallop shells (to investigate the feasibility of modifying the substrate as a management strategy). Dispersal rates were studied with a substrate cho...
