• This paper analyses differences in commercial vessel scallop catch efficiency, and shows that catch efficiency can be considerably different between commercial vessels and that it is likely problematic to assume equal catch rates between commercial vessels for the purpose of stock assessment. Catch efficiency is the fraction of scallops caught from the amount available in the haul path.
