Levješapasta pokrovača Nodipecten nodosus

**Levješapasta pokrovača** (*Nodipecten nodosus*) Kot največjo pokrovačo, razširjeno v zahodnem Atlantiku, jo že desetletja komercialno lovijo za prehrano ljudi. Zaradi nedavnega upada ulova in njene hitre rasti so jo začeli komercialno gojiti v marikulturah. Zbirka Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije. **Lion's Paw Scallop** (*Nodipecten nodosus*) The largest scallop distributed in the western Atlantic has been for decades commercially fished for human consumption. Due to recent declines in catches and their rapid growth, they have begun to be commercially farmed in mariculture. Collection of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History.
