Scallop survey, Golden Bay 2014

NIWA conducted a survey to assess the scallop abundance within Block B in the interim AMA in Golden Bay. A random dredge survey (15 tows) was carried out to quantify relative abundance of scallops within Block B, AMA 1 on 27th March 2014, using two scaled-down commercial scallop dredges. Results showed that the scallop densities in 2014 were similar to previous surveys and did not indicate a substantial recovery of the fishery at the present time.
