Maine scallop fishermen to get ready for season amid cuts

November 12, 2015 — MACHIAS, Maine (AP) — Maine fishing regulators are meeting with scallop fishermen around the state as they get ready for the 2015-16 season amid some cutbacks.

The state approved a proposal to cut back the number of scalloping days in the southern scalloping zone from 70 to 60. The upcoming season begins in early December and ends in mid-April. It’s happening in a time of record high prices for Maine scallops, which are typically more expensive per pound than others.
