Abstract: A novel method is provided herein for the culturing of giant scallops from the egg stage to the juvenile stage. The method includes the following steps: firstly, obtaining and feeding native scallops. Secondly, inducing spawning in the scallop. Thirdly, selecting eggs surrounded by sperm in a preselected ratio of sperm/egg. Fourthly, hatching fertilized eggs at a preselected density in shallow dishes of water, thereby providing swimming larvae. Fifthly, removing the larvae after a preselected period of time, and re-suspending the larvae in deep larval tanks of sea water having food therein. Sixthly, periodically removing the larvae, re-suspending the removed larvae in larval tanks of the sea water and refeeding the re-suspended larvae with food in the sea water. Seventhly, after a period of time, allowing the larvae to settle on bottom of the larval tanks, in lighting conditions, and become spat while periodically changing the water in the tanks and feeding the larvae with food in the water in a larval tank.
