Info

Pecten novaezelandiae Reeve, 1852

The New Zealand Scallop can be found around the coast in the sandbanks and mudbanks from shallow water to about 90 m depth. Scallops lie on the seabed with the flat shell uppermost, singly or sometimes in large populations.

There are strict quotas in New Zealand for commercially using (10 cm legal minimum shell size for harvest).

Pecten novaezelandiae is endemic in New Zealand.
