The scallop fleet catch data layer shows a heatmap of the quantity of fish caught by the scallop fleet. Scallop fleet ofter operate with dredges which scape scallops out of their hollows and can disturb seaweed and other sea life on the seabed in the process (Johnson M., Steward B., 2018).
Scallop fleet catch is a month-by-month, computer-generated data layer following this fleet's fishing catch calculated by the ecosystem simulation. This fleet doesn't fish in areas that are protected against scallop fleets.
A plan can also include a change in the fishing efforts for this fleet per EEZ. Activate the Fishing controls by ticking the appropriate checkbox in the Plan Wizard. Subsequently change the appropriate Fishing effort sliders.

In the Clyde Marine Region the scallop fleet consists of hand collecting and dredge fleets. These fleets catch mostly what is called in the model "other invertebrates" (likely scallops).
The scallop catch data layer comes from the EwE model developed for the Clyde Marine Region Editio of the MSP Chalenge by Jacob W. Bentley (Scottish Association for Marine Science), Jeroen Steenbeek (International Ecopath Initiative), Natalia Serpetti (Scottish Association for Marine Science), and Sheila J.J. Heymans (European Marine Board).
