Abstract

The factors that influence settlement of scallops and many other bivalve taxa are presently poorly known. Aequipecten opercularis and Pecten maximus demonstrate seasonal peaks of settlement that are variable from year to year. This study demonstrates that moonlight intensity and duration may be a temporal settlement cue for pectinids.
