Ruello found 11.5% of all mussels failed to open during cooking, but when forced open, 100% were "both adequately cooked and safe to eat." [34] [35] Although mussels are valued as food, mussel poisoning due to toxic planktonic organisms can be a danger along some coastlines.
Bathymodiolus is a genus of deep-sea mussels, marine bivalve molluscs in the family Mytilidae. Many of them contain intracellular chemoautotrophic bacterial symbionts.
A common feature of the shells of mussels is an asymmetrical shell which has a thick, adherent periostracum. The animals attach themselves to a solid substrate using a byssus . A 2020 study of the phylogeny of Mytilidae recovered two main clades derived from an epifaunal ancestor, with subsequent lineages shifting to other lifestyles, and ...
Mytilida is an order of marine bivalve molluscs, commonly known as true mussels. [1] There is one extant superfamily, the Mytiloidea , with a single extant family, the Mytilidae . Species in the order Mytilida are found worldwide, but they are more abundant in colder seas, where they often form uninterrupted beds on rocky shores in the ...
The Dreissenidae are a family of small freshwater aquatic bivalve molluscs, commonly called mussels although not at all closely related to true mussels. The shells of these bivalves are shaped somewhat like those of true mussels, which they also resemble in attaching themselves to a hard substrate such as stone using a byssus; however, this group is more closely related to the venus clams ().
Perna canaliculus, [a] the New Zealand green-lipped mussel, also known as the New Zealand mussel, the greenshell mussel, kuku, and kutai, is a bivalve mollusc in the family Mytilidae (the true mussels).
Mytilus trossulus, the Pacific blue mussel, bay mussel or foolish mussel, is a medium-sized edible marine bivalve mollusc in the family Mytilidae.. Mytilus trossulus is one of the three principal, closely related taxa in the Mytilus edulis complex of blue mussels, which collectively are widely distributed on the temperate to subarctic coasts the Northern Hemisphere, and often are dominant ...
Perna perna, the brown mussel, is an economically important mussel, a bivalve mollusc belonging to the family Mytilidae.It is harvested as a food source but is also known to harbor toxins and cause damage to marine structures.
