Abstract
    Bay scallops, Argopecten irradians, were held in a recirculating seawater system for 25 weeks and fed a diet consisting of four species of cultured algae. The rate of growth of the shellfish was less than reported for scallops from natural areas, and a gross shell deformity was noted among most of the scallops after 18 weeks of culture. The deformity may have been related to an inadequate diet.
