About
The Pectinidae (from the Latin pecten meaning comb), common name scallops,TAYLORMADE IRONS, are a family of saltwater bivalve mollusks. They are hermaphrodites, and the male gonads mature first. Numerous species of various sizes occur in all of the oceans, and a number species are of commercial importance as food species.
A small minority of pectinid species live cemented to rocky substrates as adults. Some others species are more simply attached, by means of a filament they secrete. The majority of species,TaylorMade R11S Driver, however, are recumbent on sandy substrates, but when they sense the presence of a predator such as a starfish, they are able to escape by swimming swiftly but erratically through the water using a form of jet propulsion created by repeatedly clapping the valves of their shell together.
Pectinids have numerous simple eyes situated around the edges of their mantles,TAYLORMADE FAIRWAY WOODS.
