Uruguay Scallop Fishery Development
This project, conducted in the spring of 1991, entailed the development of a scallop fishery off the coast of Uruguay.
BIVAR, whose vessels fished for hake, hired Coonamessett Farm to investigate the potential of a scallop resource. This involved
the development of a scallop trawl, explorations to determine the location and size of the resource, and creation of a harvesting
and processing system.
