Abstract

The eastern Australian scallop Scaeochlamys livida (Lamarck, 1819) is recorded from Cockburn Sound and Fremantle Harbour, Western Australia. It was first recorded in Cockburn Sound in the 1980s and has now become a permanent part of the molluscan fauna of both Fremantle Harbour and Cockburn Sound.
