Hi Conchl,

A friend found some worms in the tissue of Hinnites giganteus (can't
recall the new genus) from Santa Catalina Island, California.  Any ideas?
Read below.

Thanks in advance,
Steve

When cleaning the scallops I noticed several worms in the meat.  They were
2-3mm long, brown, and curled up.  Some scallops were loaded and others
were worm-free.  Is this something new?  Is it widespread?

Any info is appreciated.

PS- the worms were round worms not flat.
Thanks mucho.
