Report of Ann Bodio, student technician, seventh week of work, July 22-26, 2002.

"...Drew, Michael, and I scrub(bed) the scallops clean...then Rick brought them inside the hatchery upstairs to the spawning table. ...This is a long process. Some of the scallops are letting out sperm which makes the water cloudy. There was white and yellow sperm coming out of the scallops. (The) eggs were either clear with a pinkish tint or white. We also changed the water consistently checking the temperature...maintained at about 29 to 30 degrees C. Scallops are both sex (but) oysters change their sex every season...About 1:30 we got eggs (spawning).. .We had 1 full bucket (containing) sperm (and) almost 3 full buckets (of) eggs which Rick brought downstairs and counted... About 4:00 we stop(ped) the spawning..."
