Scientific research may be defined as a systematic, controlled, empirical, and critical investigation of hypothetical propositions about the presumed relations among observed phenomena. This definition contains the basic terms necessary in defining the method of scientific research, and describes a procedure that has been accepted for centuries. However, regardless of its origin, all research begins with a basic question or proposition about a specific phenomenon. For example: Why do viewers select one television program over another?
Scallops come from sandy or muddy bottoms of most seas and oceans.
At Downeast Dayboat, we take their precious catch and carefully and quickly package it for shipment directly to you, always within 24 hours of harvest. In contrast, over 95% of US sea scallops come from large boats that fish well offshore and harvest thousands of pounds on a single trip. Because theyâre at sea for a week or more, their scallops are stored on ice.
