Funny little blunder in the article. The article is about sea scallops but the picture they used is of bay scallops which are an entirely different species. Oops..... :D

The little bay scallops are nice. But, the big ones are simply yummy. Also, of note is the rebounding dogfish fishery.

Feds may raise quotas for rebounding dogfish - GloucesterTimes.com, Gloucester, MA (http://www.gloucestertimes.com/punews/local_story_317224837.html)

That's great news about the scallops, but what do I do with all this drool on the keyboard? :D

Is it too early to hope for increased bag limits in MA?

I know, "Greedy, greedy, greedy"....

Excuse me, I gotta go look at something in the freezer! ;)

With all the talk of "recruits" and "recruitment" in the article, they'll soon be a vast army of well-trained scallops just offshore waiting for the right moment to attack!;) Sorry, couldn't help myself. I'm bored....

*The Mad Oceanographer glares at Lobstaman who is dangling over a pot of boiling water*

"You may have uncovered my evil plot to conquer the world using an army of genetically engineered scallop soldiers but its far too late to stop me Lobstaman!!!!! Muwahahahahaha!!!! Soon you will be nothing but a boiled Lobsta!!!!"

*Lobstaman cleverly holds up an egg that was in his pocket*

"Drat, an egger!!!! It looks like you have escaped my clutches this time! Quickly, throw him back before the Environmental Police see him and confiscate my Seabase!"

*Tune in next week to find out if Lobstaman can find enough toothpicks and bacon to defeat the scallop army!*

Sorry.... umm.... I have no idea what just came over me... I guess I was bored too.... :D

That said...

Have you heard of the new Fox reality special...'When Scallops Attack!'
Or, the new made-for-tv movie on the SciFi Channel...'Zombie Scallop Army'. Can't wait for the sequel. I guess I'm reallllly bored.

The report doesn't explain why scallop populations are declining in Boston Harbor.... I wonder what could be causing that......?? 11/29/08
