all you do is crack them open and scoop out the good bits or even sell them whole to high-end restaurants. it's literally free money. you can start now, just buy some stacky nets, a boat, and some scuba gear. you're welcome /biz/

*in your path*

How do they stay in place during storms?

What's the profit margin per cage?

What as maintenance like? What's startup costs like?

How often do you harvest and how long does it take per cage?
How many scallops do you harvest per cage?
What price do you fetch per scallop?

lmao metal in salt water gl OP

They sound like they would be a great pet for aquarium.

Mussels are even better. You can string out a line and they grow on it, and I even know vegans that eat them because they don't have a CNS

fucking lol.

Ocean is free, free from land govt, and not free from sea govt.

>its literally free money
you're leaving money on the table if you don't also find a use for the shells

>>60894530 (OP)
what are the nets hanging on?

>>60894530 (OP)
>scuba gear
I don't have lungs

>>60895237
oh wow, how convenient.
people nowadays really will make up anything to avoid farming mollusks. whatever, more space in the ocean for me to put down my scallop cages.

>>60894530 (OP)
You probably need ocean front property and a special license and it has to be zoned for scallop farming in order to do this operation

You can’t just buy the nets and set them up in some random location where scallops are, you’ll get arrested. Unless you are native. Here in Canada natives can do whatever they want because it’s their First Nation right.

anyone else remember the indoor shrimp farming meme

>>60895339
Ok boomer. Do you even vape?

>>60897525
it's been on my mind regularly

>>60894530 (OP)
I think I'll stay dry and make more money instead.

>>60897963

>>60898097
$100 per pound. A good month gets 1000+ pounds.

my scallops!!!!!!! they cannot move. nature's designated farm product

I dont like the taste -- but I like the profits! Right on brothers

>>60898248

>>60900504
Abalone. Super rare in the wild now they got overfished for a long time and then became a protected species.

>>60898248
How much was your set up tho and don't you have to wait years for your first return?

>>60897607
ever done it?

>>60898248
What's your COGS?

>>60903370
no, but I'm friends with an aquaristics shop owner and I've suggested farming shrimps to him. selling tropical fish to customers that presumably don't grill them on the barbie sadly is more profit at this point in time.

>>60894530 (OP)
It's a very good business avenue. But it's not a growth business. Like, obviously not.

>>60897525
Oh of course. That was a big thing for a while

>>60903410
Tanks and water bro, and servicing the pumps. It's not much.

>>60897525
the jew fears the indoor shrimp farmer

>>60897525
tis not a meme

>>60894530 (OP)
The oceanic scallop farmer vs the indoor shrimp farmer. Who wins?

>>60905289
indoor shrimp farmer will win if he is surrounded with land
