Although the dry transport of scallop is the preferred method for the shipment of live shellfish, transport in seawater requires larger volumes therefore increasing freight costs.However, due to constraints of emersion time in dry transport, wet transport was investigated for scallops in journeys of longer duration.A total of 360 scallops with two size classes (73.4 ± 2.0 mm and 45.73±0.8 mm) were tested at the three different temperatures regimes: 4℃, 8℃ and 18℃.The assimilated transport was carried out over 24 and 48 hour periods.The pH and temperature were measured during the transport, and behavior like shell orientation and recessing were recorded in the post-transport(lasted for 3 weeks) for evaluating the stress experienced during transport.
