World scallop landings increased dramatically in the last 20 y and in 1996 were about 1.7 million t (whole weight). Aquaculture was the reason for this increase and in 1996 accounted for about 90% of landings. Most production of scallops from culture operations was from China and Japan (88% of world production) and to a much lesser extent from Chile. A consistent 1,000 t annual production from culture operations in other countries has rarely been met and development of the British Columbia scallop culture industry is used as an example to explain the slow progress in achieving higher production. Methods are discussed that could enable establishment of large economically viable scallop culture industries. The potential for scallop culture remains high in many countries but it will require a firm commitment by governments and industry to achieve this goal.
