Mussel farm sees potential in scallops
Tony Gott strings scallops on a line with Acadia Aqua Farms’ new ear-hanging machine. The farm in Frenchman Bay is one of the few farms in the U.S. that is testing the Japanese method of growing scallops.

BAR HARBOR In mid-May, Alex de Koning climbed down into the hold of the Stewardship, the former military landing craft that he and his family have used for years to help grow mussels in Frenchman Bay, and sat at what looked like a giant sewing machine.
He grabbed a pair of scallops that had just been pulled out of the farm’s nets, lined up the small notches near the bivalves’ hinge and stepped on a foot pedal.
Aquafarm seeks scallop lease
BAR HARBOR A Bar Harbor-based mussel grower is looking to expand its scallop farming in Frenchman Bay.
Acadia Aquafarms applied for a 68-acre lease halfway between Parker Point and Hancock Point to cultivate sea scallops with suspended gear. The company, owned by the de Koning family, currently grows mussels with five active leases and has two longlines on six 400-square foot leases for scallops, which are at the same location as the proposed lease site.
In its application to the Department of Marine Resources, Acadia Aquafarms said that its observed little commercial fishing in the area over the last couple years and the small amount of traps in the area could be set between the proposed lines, which would be at least 25 feet under water, with no problems.
