Nantucket News 4/21/07
Overfishing of sharks may endanger bay scallops, researchers reported in “Science” journal. Sharks eat skates and rays, which eat bay scallops. Fewer sharks and more skates and rays equals fewer scallops. Fewer scallops means fewer scallop seeds, and the result could be a significant cause of the decline of the industry. However, the Associated Press reports that the director of scientific programs at the National Marine Fisheries Service said that “links between the large sharks, medium size rays and bay scallops were ‘tenuous,’” and that other factors also need to be considered.
