The tables below include tabular lists for selected basic foods, compiled from United States Dept. of Agriculture sources. Included for each food is its weight in grams, its calories, and (also in grams,) the amount of protein, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, fat, and saturated fat. [1]
The dietary requirements of scallops differ depending on species and life stage. For example, increased protein content of the microalgal diet of broodstock has been shown to reduce time to spawning maturity and increase fecundity. [13] Similar positive results for growth and survival have been observed in larvae fed with high protein diets. [14]
The reduction of water content has the greatest effect of increasing protein as a proportion of the overall mass of the food in question. Not all protein is equally digestible. Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score is a method of evaluating the protein quality based on the amino acid requirements of humans. [1]
Peconic Bay scallops, like all bay scallops, are functional hermaphrodites that release both sperm and eggs alternately in the course of a single spawning event; spawning in the Peconic Bays usually begins between late May and mid-July, but spawn seasons have been recorded starting as late as September and October.

AiPGRP is a peptidoglycan recognition protein (PGRP). [2]: 47 Its cDNA was cloned by Ni et al. 2007 and is the first bivalve PGRP to be cloned. [2]: 47 AiGal1 is a galectin discovered by Song et al. 2010, [2]: 49 CfToll-1 is a toll-like receptor (TLR) shared with other bivalves. [2]: 50 It was first found in this scallop by Song et al. 2006.
The earliest food composition tables were based solely on chemical analyses of food samples, which were mostly undertaken specifically for the tables. However, as the food supply has evolved, and with the increasing demand for nutritional and related components, it has become more difficult for compilers to rely only on chemical analysis when ...
The shell near the hinge is extended into "ears", as is the case in all scallops. The shell of the Atlantic calico scallop has about 20 radial ribs, which are sometimes roughened by growth lines. The exterior coloration of the upper (left) valve of this species is most typically a mottled pattern of purple on a cream background.
Great scallops are fished for using Newhaven scallop dredges, and less than 5% is gathered by hand by divers. In total the scallop fisheries for P. maximus and for the Queen scallop Aequipecten opercularis are one of the top five fisheries by value in United Kingdom waters. However, the use of towed great to harvest scallops causes damage to ...
