Marine mussels (mussels) and freshwater mussels (mussels) are collectively called bivalves. Global distribution. Marine life is most common in cool waters. There are about 1 000 species of freshwater mussels, which inhabit streams, ponds and lakes in most parts of the world.

Marine mussels are generally wedge-shaped or pear-shaped, 5? 15 cm (2？ 6 inches), the shell is smooth or ribbed, with many hairy cuticles. Many kinds of shells are dark blue or dark green brown with pearl luster inside. Marine mussels are often attached to the surface of hard objects or in groups. Sometimes they get into soft mud or wood. The main natural enemies are birds (such as gulls, oyster snipes, ducks) and starfish.

Some species (such as Mytilus edulis) are used as food in Europe and other parts of the world and are commercially farmed. Blue mussels can be as long as 1 1 cm (4 inches), usually blue or purple, and have been cultivated in Europe since13rd century. Mussels are caught from the deep sea with trawls and rakes.

The species of Dunaliella, commonly known as zebra shellfish, are two kinds of tiny shellfish, which are famous freshwater harmful shellfish. Rapid replication, can be attached to a large number of objects (in fact, can be attached to the surface of any object). Overeating often takes away phytoplankton, thus destroying the food chain. It will also gather on suction valves, water pipes, piers and other structures, causing serious economic losses. In Europe, decorative shellfish had already caused harm to human beings in the early18th century, and it increased sharply in the 20th century. It was taken to North America around 1986 (probably through ballast water), and now it has invaded the whole Great Lakes region.

Mytilus Modiolus capax has a bright orange-brown shell, which is thick and distributed in the Pacific Ocean from California to Peru. The Atlantic mussel (Modiolus demissus) is distributed from Nova Scotia to the Gulf of Mexico, and its shell is thin, firm and yellowish brown. The tulip mussel (Modiolus americanus) is distributed from North Carolina to the Caribbean and attached to broken shells and rocks. Its shell is thin and smooth, usually light brown, sometimes with rose or purple tones.

Mytilus citrinus is a light brown mussel distributed from southern Florida to the Caribbean. M. recurvus is distributed from New England to the Caribbean, with a body length of about 4 cm and a greenish-brown to purple-black color. M. edulis, distributed from North Carolina to the Caribbean, is blue-gray and about 2.5 cm long. Mussels are the largest family of freshwater mussels, with about 750 species, most of which are produced in the United States, and many species are also found in Southeast Asia.

Mussels are shellfish that live in rivers, lakes and swamps. There are many kinds. There are generally two kinds. One likes to live in a flowing river. Their shells are very thick, and there are teeth on the back where the two shells meet. Shells are called pearl mussels because of their thick nacre. The other likes to live in a calm pond. Their shells are very thin, and there are no teeth at the junction of the two shells on their backs. They are called pond mussels. Their bodies are very soft and their mobility is very small. However, they have two hard calcium shells to protect their bodies. When the enemy attacked them, the soft body immediately shrank to the middle of the two shells, and at the same time the two shells closed tightly, forming an impregnable "iron wall".

The two shells of mussels are exactly the same size and shape. They are connected on the back, but the front, back and abdomen are separated and can be closed or opened at will. There are horny and elastic ligaments at the back of the two shells, and some kinds have jagged teeth besides ligaments. The color of shells is usually black or brown.

The closure and opening of mussel shells are completed by special muscles on the body and ligaments on the back of the shells.

There are two well-developed muscles in mussels. It uses as many as two muscles to connect the soft body with the shell and close the shell, so we call it adductor muscle. These two adductor muscles are about the same size, both of which are composed of muscle fibers and are cylindrical. One of them is in front of the body and is called the anterior adductor muscle. The latter piece is called Post-obturator internus. The adductor muscle has strong elasticity. Because of their elasticity, the shell opens or closes.

The ligament on the back of the shell is very elastic, and it acts like a small spring. Its task is just the opposite of that of obturator internus, which is to keep the two shells open.

As soon as the two adductor muscles contract, the meat column becomes shorter, thus closing the left and right shells. The tighter the muscles contract, the shorter the meat column and the tighter the shell closes. If the two adductor muscles relax and stretch, the meat column will change from short to long, losing the function of pulling the left and right shells, and the shells will resume their open state under the elastic force of the straps.

The shell structure consists of three layers: the outer layer is very thin, almost black, and is composed of an organic substance called stratum corneum; The middle layer is thick, is the main part of the shell, white, and consists of many angular columnar calcium carbonate, called prismatic layer; The innermost layer is very bright, and it is composed of many small flakes formed by keratin and calcium, which is called nacre. These parts of the shell are all formed by the liquid secreted by epithelial cells closely attached to the mantle of the inner layer of the shell.

The mantle is an organ that all shellfish have to protect their bodies. It covers the internal organs, but it is thin and soft and can't protect mussels. But it can secrete a liquid and form a hard calcareous shell. The stratum corneum and prismatic layer of the shell are formed by the edge of the mantle. They can increase with the growth of mussels, but the thickness cannot be increased. The nacre is formed by the whole epithelial cells of the mantle, so it can not only increase, but also thicken during the growth of mussels. The older the mussel, the thicker and brighter the nacre, which is why.

The feet of mussels are very special. They are thick muscles like axes, called axe feet. Axe foot is the moving organ of mussel, but it moves very slowly, only moving 2-3 cm at a time. In addition to moving the body, the axe foot has another function, that is, digging mud and letting yourself live in it. The axe foot first reaches into the sand, then contracts the muscles, and the clam also shrinks into the sand.

When the shell is opened and the axe foot is stretched out, it can be seen that at the back end of the mussel body, the edges of the drainage hole and the water inlet hole formed by the left and right mantle films extend slightly outward for activities. The drainage hole is in the back, which is the hole weight for mussels to discharge water from the body, and the water inlet hole is in the abdomen, which is usually connected with the front foot hole and is the hole for fresh water and food to enter the mussels. Holes are needed for eating, breathing, sperm excretion, larval excretion, etc.

Clam is an aquatic animal. It breathes through its gills. The gills are very large and petal-shaped, with 1 on the left and right, and each piece is divided into 2 petals, which are closely connected by slender gills. There are many tiny cilia on the gills, which can vibrate constantly. With the vibration of cilia, the aquatic products inside and outside mussels generate water flow. The direction of water flow is to make the external water flow into the mussel body through the inlet hole, then flow to the upper part of the body through the gills, and finally flow out from the drainage hole.

When the clam moves, the water flow is constant. When fresh water flows through the gills, it exchanges gas with blood containing carbonic acid gas in blood vessels, and delivers oxygen to the blood, and sewage flows out of the drainage hole with the water flow.

Mussels live in underwater mud and have little mobility. It has no head and no organs to catch food, so it can't take the initiative to catch food. Mussels eat tiny organisms and other organic substances brought in from the water inlet, which can enter the mussel body with the water flow from the water inlet, reach the middle of the lip through the ciliated flap on the gills, and enter the mussel mouth. Mytilus is selective to the inflow of water and food. At the entrance of the intake hole, many tentacle-like small protrusions grow around the hole. If you think that the incoming water contains substances or organisms that are not good for it, you will close the hole and not let it in. In addition, in mussels, a special olfactory organ called osphradium grows at the base of gills. It acts like the nose of a higher animal. If the incoming water contains something it doesn't like to eat, it will be strictly separated from the food, and they will be discharged from the body through the drainage hole along the water flow.

Generally speaking, it is particularly meaningful for mussels to enter the body through the water inlet and then discharge the water from the body through the drainage hole. It not only brings rich food and fresh oxygen to mussels, but also sends the waste discharged from mussels out of the body. As many as 40 liters of water flows through mussels every day, which is really amazing for such a small animal.

Female mussels are bigger than male mussels of the same age, and their shells are slightly wider and thicker. In addition, the gill tapestry of female mussels is narrow, while that of male mussels is wide, which is often 2-3 times that of female mussels.

Mature sperm reaches the suprabranchial cavity through the vas deferens of male mussels, and then is discharged into the external water from the drainage hole with the water flow. Water containing sperm enters between the gills of female mussels along the water flow from the water inlet. At this time, the female eggs have also been discharged from the gonads through the fallopian tubes and gathered between their gills. In this way, sperm and eggs meet between the gills of the female body for fertilization.

The fertilized egg will not be discharged from the body with the water flow because of the adhesion of mucus secreted by the maternal gill flap. The fertilized egg gradually develops into a small larva. Most of them have two small shells with hooks on the sides and a long flagella tapestry in the center of their bodies. Because it has hooks on its shell, it is called hookworm larva. Hookworm larvae do not need the mucus secreted by the mother to stick to the gill flap, but wrap their own long flagella tapestry around the gill tapestry. After the larvae mature, they are discharged from the body through the drainage holes of mussels and fall to the bottom of the water or suspended in the current. When it meets a fish, it hooks on the gill or fin of the fish with the hook on the side of its shell. At this time, the fish was stimulated by the hooked larva, and quickly formed a sac to wrap the larva, so the larva began to live parasitically. A giant clam can produce 3 million hookworm larvae, and a fish can parasitize 3,000 hookworm larvae. The parasitism of hookworm larvae has no significant effect on adult fish, but it often kills young fish. The hookworm larvae of some species of mussels need to be parasitic on a specific fish, while the hookworm larvae of some species of mussels can be parasitic on many kinds of fish.

The length of parasitic period varies with species and water quality.
