>貝殻以外はほとんどの部位が食べられるが、「ウロ」と呼ばれる中腸腺はえぐみが強く一般には好まれない上、生物濃縮により、貝毒や重金属(主にカドミウム)が集中する。
Does this help? For the record, the reason I recommended my boi do this submission was seeing a kimagure cook video and wondering what this black thing the man was cutting out and calling the ウロ was. I couldn't tell you if it's ever used for the hepatopancreas of any other bivalve/animal, but I think it's clearly what's going on in the scallop case.

I think that's just referring to the hollow/cavity meaning of うろ. No reference I can find equates ウロ with Hepatopancreas.  We need something more authoritative than a food page.
