- Abstract
Currently, there is an increasing interest in shipping live adult scallops to markets and broodstock to hatcheries; nevertheless, information about the shipping e!ect on live scallops physiology is very scarce. In a previous study, a method in emersion was developed to ship scallop seed out of water, but twas not known whether this method is useful to transport adult organisms. As a consequence, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the e!ects of transportation by the emersion method on the physiological status of the adductor muscle of adult giant lion’s paw scallop. Live specimens were packaged in a container and transported in emersion for 11h. Six scallops were frozen in a farm and a similar number were frozen as soon as they arrived to the laboratory. Physiological indices were determined in each lot and the survival was estimated 24 h after re-immersion. As a result of the transportation, a signi¢cant loss (P < 0.05) of total carbohydrates, glycogen, adenosine 50-triphosphate and adenilated energetic charge, and a significant increase (P < 0.05) in the free amino acids concentration were observed. Eighty-eight percent survival was achieved; therefore, we conclude that this method is appropriate for shipping live adult scallops of Nodipecten subnodosus.
