ResumoSpat of the Iceland scallop, Chlamys islandica (O.F. Müller), was artificially collected using thin nylon monofilament as a substrate for settlement. Collectors placed at depths between 15 m and 40 m in Balsfjord, north Norway, collected most spat at depths of between 30 m and 40 m. After settlement in September the spat grew slowly until the following spring (April/May) when growth accelerated. One year after settlement a shell height of about 7 mm was attained. There was also some evidence that secondary migration in this species begins about 1 year after settlement.
