Are scallops carnivores herbivores or omnivores?

Answer 1

Scallops are filter feeders and filter plankton. Some of this plankton may be plant life and some may be animal life, the scallop can not select one or the other and therefore scallops are omnivores.

Answer 2

Scallops are filter feeders, meaning they primarily consume plankton and other small organisms that they filter from the water. They are not considered herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores in the traditional sense.
