Aequipecten Opercularis
The queen scallop (''Aequipecten opercularis'') is a medium-sized species of scallop, an edible Marine (ocean), marine bivalve mollusk in the family Pectinidae, the scallops. It is found in the northeast Atlantic and is important in fisheries. Description At about in size, this is one of the smaller scallop species which are commercially exploited. The shell of this species is sometimes quite colourful, and it is also thin and brittle. It has about twenty radiating umbo (bivalve), umbones. The left Valve (mollusc), valve is slightly more convex than the right one. One auricle of the right valve is larger than the other which creates a notch near the hinge used by the modified foot in young scallops to spin byssal threads. Older scallops are free swimming. Right and left valve of the same specimen: File:Aequipecten opercularis 01.jpg, Right valve File:Aequipecten opercularis 02.jpg, Left valve Life habits The queen scallop feeds on a diet of plankton, and is commonly found ...
