“…Some areas in the Changhai sea are near the tidal front and are affected by its swing, causing the warm water and cold water to alternate. This results in large temperature changes in the study area (Nan et al, 2020). In winter half-year, the YSWC carries high temperature and high salinity water into the NYS and forms a temperature front between the cooler nearshore water and the YSWC.…”

Understanding how environmental factors impact the interannual variation in scallop growth and subsequently developing an easily obtained parameter to indicate this variation could provide a scientific basis for optimizing their aquaculture. In this study, we have set a growth scenario of uniformly sowed scallops of the same initial size in the Changhai sea area. The Yesso scallop culture ecosystem model was used to simulate the growth of bottom-cultured Yesso scallop each year from December 1, 2006 to November 30, 2017. The results show that the annual growth rate was higher in the northwest than in the southeast, and there were obvious high-value areas near the islands. The scallop biomass was significantly lower in 2009–2010 and reached its highest point in 2013–2014. Based on the match-mismatch conditions of bottom-water temperature, food availability, and the Yesso scallop growth process, three factors were determined: suitable growth days (SGD), restricted growth days (RGD), and food accumulation (FA). Subsequently, a multiple regression relationship was proposed with scallop biomass to explore the reasons affecting the interannual variations in scallop growth. We found that the anomaly of the contribution of SGD and FA for the scallop growth was small, and the interannual variation in scallop biomass was mainly regulated by RGD in winter. Our results indicated that the interannual variation in RGD in winter was closely related to the regional averaged air temperature in early winter. The air temperature in early winter is easily obtained in practice. Consequently, it could be used to predict the interannual growth of bottom-cultured scallops to improve aquaculture planning and management.
