Mussel farming is a form of aquaculture that involves raising and harvesting these mollusks in either natural or man-made environments, since mussels are filter feeders, they filter incoming water, when the water becomes polluted the mussels absorb everything in the water which they can retain and this affects humans when they are consumed.
It has been shown that environmental changes can impair the ability of the mussels and their symbiotic bacteria to live. [7] Research has shown that when the B. thermophilus are experimentally placed in a low-sulfide environment, the gill symbionts are lost, and the mussels suffer harm to the gills and body conditions.

Mussel (/ ˈ m ʌ s ə l /) is the common name used for members of several families of bivalve molluscs, from saltwater and freshwater habitats. These groups have in common a shell whose outline is elongated and asymmetrical compared with other edible clams, which are often more or less rounded or oval.
Seafood is any form of sea life regarded as food by humans, prominently including fish and shellfish.Shellfish include various species of molluscs (e.g., bivalve molluscs such as clams, oysters, and mussels, and cephalopods such as octopus and squid), crustaceans (e.g. shrimp, crabs, and lobster), and echinoderms (e.g. sea cucumbers and sea urchins).
Based on their research dietary requirements, one study developed a modified food pyramid for adults over 70. [ 10 ] There is not enough evidence to confidently recommend the use of any form of carbohydrate in preventing or reducing cognitive decline in older adults with normal cognition or mild cognitive impairment.

The oysters reportedly contained 11,220 glass particles per kilogram, while the mussels had 2,740 particles per kilogram. But why exactly is this happening? According to Ciocan, the sea life is ...
The freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) is an endangered species of freshwater mussel, an aquatic bivalve mollusc in the family Margaritiferidae.. Although the name "freshwater pearl mussel" is often used for this species, other freshwater mussel species (e.g. Margaritifera auricularia) can also create pearls and some can also be used as a source of mother of pearl.
During the first year mussels typically grow to ~ 20 millimetres (25 ⁄ 32 in), reaching ~ 25–30 millimetres (63 ⁄ 64 – 1 + 3 ⁄ 16 in) at the end of the second year. Growth rates and final size depend largely on water temperature and the time of the year when the individuals are born, although calcium concentrations, pollution, food ...
