Citation:

WEISSBERGER, E. J. AND M. M. CHINTALA. Bay Scallop Habitat Suitability Models: Predictions over Space and Time. Presented at National Shellfisheries Association 100th Annual Meeting, Providence, RI, April 06 - 10, 2008.

Impact/Purpose:

Multiple linear regression was used to relate habitat variables to scallop abundance, with separate models being created for juvenile and adult scallops.

Description:

A survey of Lagoon Pond, Martha’s Vineyard, MA, USA was conducted in September 2005 to determine the combination of habitat factors most highly correlated with bay scallop (Argopecten irradians) abundance.
