Tig. 100. — "Seed" scallops, with a small amount of white worm tube (Serjrula) 

 attached to the shell. These scallops have not yet spawned, and, for the future 

 welfare of the scallop fishery, should be protected until they have passed the spawn- 

 ing period, which occurs when the scallop is one year old. The capture of these 

 immature scallops is a decided menace to the fishery, and is forbidden by law.
