A color image taken in a well-lit laboratory counter. A ruler is laid horizontally in the center of the image in the background. Three larger scallops are laid side-by-side along the top edge of the ruler and three smaller scallops are laid side-by-side along the lower edge. Each scallop has distinct, and different, striped patterns on the top shells. Atlantic sea scallops collected during the 2022 survey show the variety in coloration for this species.
