Optimization of a large-scale scallop hanging culture operation

Article Abstract:

The operation of a large-scale scallop hanging culture enterprise has been optimized using a linear program. The model was developed to determine the optimal duration for each stage of the growout process which results in the maximization of the net present value of the profits. The nature of the start-up period as well as the expected cycles of expenditures and revenues were also analyzed using the model. In addition, the maximum scallop throughput for a given lease area and spacing was determined.
