  • Limited access scallop vessels fishing under scallop DAS are not under any trip limit, though there are sometimes exceptions (for instance, the 1999 GB Sea Scallop Exemption Program).
  • If you either:
    • Have a limited access permit but are NOT fishing under scallop DAS, or
    • Have a General scallop permit,
      you can retain up to 400 pounds of meats per trip (no matter how long the trip is).
  • If you have no scallop permit at all, you're limited to 40 pounds of meats per trip.
