2019年2月13日 · Scallops draw in water by opening their valves to create a vacuum which draws in water to their sealed mantle cavity. They then rapidly close their valves using their strong adductor muscles to pull them together, which pushes the water back through vents in the rear hinge area, propelling the scallop forward.

Scallop locomotion is how scallops swim using their valves and adductor muscles. They open their shells to take in water and then close them fast. This action pushes the water out, making them move forward.

2024年8月1日 · Unlike other bivalves such as mussels and clams, most scallops are free-swimming. They swim by clapping their shells quickly using their highly developed adductor muscle, forcing a jet of water past the shell hinge, propelling the scallop forward.

2016年1月1日 · Swimming is generally a burst activity, with maximal distances of <30 m per swimming bout. Most scallops close their valves once fatigued. Shell morphology and habitat characteristics help predict swimming capacity, with adult pectinids using a range of strategies from gliding to cementing.

2013年6月12日 · Scallop swimming is composed of a rhythmic series of alternate contractions and relaxations of the adductor muscle. Each muscle contraction closes the valves and forcefully expels water out of the mantle (body) cavity through jets on either side of the hinge (Figure 3).
