Overall Objective:
To conduct a biomass survey for scallops on beds that have not previously been considered as part of the biomass surveys, and where presence has been reported, to get a better picture of the overall population in the Marlborough Sounds, and the habitat / conditions scallops are associated with.
Specific Objectives:
1. To conduct a biomass survey that will provide estimates of current relative and absolute abundance (numbers and biomass in tonnes greenweight and meatweight), length frequency profile, density, and distribution of recruited and pre-recruit scallops in the Marlborough Sounds. This survey would be conducted on beds that have not previously been considered as part of the biomass surveys, and where presence has been reported, to get a better picture of the overall population in the Marlborough Sounds. The survey outside of the core beds would be done with non-contact bottom methods.
2. To analyse the video footage / diver observations to build on the evidence of conditions scallops need to survive.
