DEF

A pyramidal or conical-shaped suspension culture net constructed of a mesh net over a vinyl coated wire base and used to facilitate the growout of scallops.

OBS

Pearl nets or blue bags have become the industry standard for intermediate culture of pectinids worldwide. They have been used almost exclusively for intermediate grow-out of sea scallops in Atlantic Canada.

OBS

Pearl nets are almost always used for the intermediate grow-out of scallops, but when it comes to final grow-out, other options are possible, such as lantern net culture, ear hanging and bottom seeding.

DEF

Panier d'élevage en suspension composé d'un filet formant une pyramide ou un cône au-dessus d'une base en fil de fer enduit de vinyle et qu'on utilise pour favoriser le grossissement de pétoncles.

OBS

On utilise presque systématiquement le panier japonais au stade du prégrossissement, mais au grossissement final, il y a d'autres options, dont l'élevage dans des paniers lanternes, l'élevage en boucle d'oreille et l'ensemencement sur le fond.
