Abstract
Bay scallops containing adult female pea crabs are slightly smaller than noninfected scallops. Infected scallops tend to weigh less than noninfected of the same size. The growth of 3 size groups of infected and noninfected scallops was measured over a 3 month period and infected scallops grew less than noninfected.Keywords
