Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 47. No. 1, Pg. 30:
Adult bay scallops use their adductor muscle to open and close their shells rapidly. This gives them the ability to do something no other type of bivalve can do—swim, which scallops do to escape predators. Tentacles around the shell filter water through the opening to catch particles for food. Many silvery eyes line the outer edges and help the scallop sense light and movement.
