What is the diet of Sea Scallop?

Sea scallops (Placopecten magellanicus) are omnivores, meaning they will eat both plant and animal matter. Their primary food sources include dinoflagellates, diatoms, and other microscopic algae, as well as small zooplankton and other planktonic organisms. They also feed on bivalves, polychaetes, and other benthic invertebrates. Sea scallops have a broad diet, and their food preferences can vary depending on the available food resources in their environment.
