Bay Scallops

Bay scallops (Argopecten irradians) on the deck of a research boat. Seagrass disappeared from the area in the 1930's and with the seagrass went the scallop fishery, the largest in the USA at the time. Their re-imergence, being helped along by researchers, is considered a major conservation victory. Image made off Virginia, USA.
