Zolotarev, P.N.
Survey targeted of the Iceland scallop was carried out in 2010 at depth ranging from 40 m to 100 m in the coastal waters of the Kola Peninsula. The scallop beds were found in Varangerfjord and the area between the Seven Islands archipelago and the Cape Svyatoy Nos Bay. The total biomass of Iceland scallop over the survey area was estimated to be about 46 000 tons. Scallops from 10 mm to 24 mm shell height prevailed in catches in the Vrangerfjord while large scallops from 70 mm to 85 mm dominated in catches in the eastern parts of the survey area. Near 20% of all scallops in the area around the Seven Islands archipelago had indications of a fungal infection
