Heart Cockles
What is it:
This large heart shaped cockle is found in undisturbed soft muds typically below 50m depth. It is likely to be under-recorded at present and may be more abundant, especially offshore, than the scattered records suggest. The Scottish records are all from the west coast and off the Hebrides and represent 80% of UK records.
