Oysters, mussels, clams, scallops and other bivalve species are grown with food materials that occur naturally in their culture environment in the sea and lagoons. [98] One-third of the world's farmed food fish harvested in 2010 was achieved without the use of feed, through the production of bivalves and filter-feeding carps . [ 98 ]
Among bivalve recipes, clams are made into soups called chowders, [25] or served as a sauce with pasta in dishes such as spaghetti alle vongole, [26] while mussels are widely eaten as moules marinieres, nowadays often with frites . [27]

Ark clams , including: Blood cockle; Senilia senilis; Many species of true mussels, family Mytilidae, including: Blue mussels. Blue mussel; California mussel; Mediterranean mussel; Mytilus ...
The two major classes of molluscs have representatives in freshwater: the gastropods (snails) and the bivalves (freshwater mussels and clams.) It appears that the other classes within the Phylum Mollusca -the cephalopods, scaphopods, polyplacophorans, etc. - never made the transition from a fully marine environment to a freshwater environment.

The record-breaking heat wave that scorched areas of the Pacific Northwest in the United States and Canada led to the death of millions of sea creatures including mussels and clams, all of which ...
These clams have, like all bivalve mollusks, a shell consisting of two parts that are hinged together, which can be closed to protect the animal's soft body within. [8] Like all mollusks, the freshwater mussels have a muscular "foot", which enables the mussel to move slowly and bury itself within the bottom substrate of its freshwater habitat. [8]
Marine mussels are usually found clumping together on wave-washed rocks, each attached to the rock by its byssus. The clumping habit helps hold the mussels firm against the force of the waves. At low tide mussels in the middle of a clump will undergo less water loss because of water capture by the other mussels. [citation needed]
