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/

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?

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.
>>
>>60894530
>its literally free money
you're leaving money on the table if you don't also find a use for the shells
>>
>>60894530
what are the nets hanging on?
>>
>>60894530
>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
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?

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

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
It's a very good business avenue. But it's not a growth business. Like, obviously not.
