The influence of density on Patinopecten yessoensis larval development was studied during production of an F2 generation. Setting behaviour of P. yessoensis on PVC removable spat collectors, previously tested with Pecten maximus, was determined. Poor larval growth of P. yessoensis was observed at a larval density of 7 ·ml·1 and post larval settlement occurred mainly on the bottom of the baskets, as has been observed with the king scallop, P. maximus. The PVC collector is not suitable for either species of scallop.
