Mimachlamys
''Mimachlamys'' is a genus of scallops, marine bivalve molluscs in the taxonomic family Pectinidae. There are at least 11 living species, including the glory scallop ''Mimachlamys gloriosa'', and the ''Mimachlamys asperrima''. Shell description In this genus, the valves are both convex, though the left valve is more convex than the right. The auricles, ear-like projections on either side of the hinge, are inequal in size, with the anterior always being much larger than the posterior. The byssal notch is deep, and the valves are generally similar in sculpture. Distribution and habitat The habitat for this genus is temperate oceans down to a depth of several hundred meters, from southern Australia to Indonesia and north to the Philippines. Some species in the genus ''Mimachlamys'' retain their byssal threads through adulthood, and are not free swimming.

Scallops
Scallop () is a common name that encompasses various species of marine bivalve mollusks in the taxonomic family Pectinidae, the scallops. However, the common name "scallop" is also sometimes applied to species in other closely related families within the superfamily Pectinoidea, which also includes the thorny oysters. Scallops are a cosmopolitan family of bivalves found in all of the world's oceans, although never in fresh water. They are one of the very few groups of bivalves to be primarily "free-living", with many species capable of rapidly swimming short distances and even migrating some distance across the ocean floor. A small minority of scallop species live cemented to rocky substrates as adults, while others attach themselves to stationary or rooted objects such as seagrass at some point in their lives by means of a filament they secrete called a byssal thread. The majority of species, however, live recumbent on sandy substrates, and when they sense the presence of ...
