The blue mussel (Mytilus edulis), also known as the common mussel,[1] is a medium-sized edible marine bivalve mollusc in the family Mytilidae, the mussels. Blue mussels are subject to commercial use and intensive aquaculture. A species with a large range, empty shells are commonly found on beaches around the world.
Omułek jadalny (Mytilus edulis) – gatunek kosmopolitycznego małża z rodziny omułkowatych (Mytilidae), szeroko rozprzestrzeniony w morzach półkuli północnej z wyjątkiem strefy arktycznej. W Bałtyku omułek jadalny jest jedynym przedstawicielem małży nitkoskrzelnych (Pteriomorphia). Występuje tam w postaci skarlałej. Nie jest zaliczany do fauny Polski

How are mussels and clams different?
Mussels, clams, oysters, and scallops definitely look quite similar at a first glance, but even though they have the same shape and are mollusks, there are significant differences between them.
While mussels are found in freshwater and saltwater regions, clams only inhabit freshwater bodies

Mussels are for members of bivalvia mollusca that come from saltwater and freshwater. Members of this group have a shell with an outline that is elongated and asymmetrical, and are less oval or circular in shape. The word “mussel” indicates it is an edible bivalve that comes from the marine family Mytilidae. Oftentimes they live in shores by the intertidal zone. They are strongly attached with the help of their byssal threads so that they can form a firm substrate. Additionally, there are a few species that have inhabited the hydrothermal vents that are connected with deep ocean ridges. Most of the marine mussels’ shell is longer, wedge-shaped, or asymmetrical. The external color would be dark blue, brown, and black, but the insides would be silver or grayish and look nacreous.
As for clams, they are freshwater bivalves. Generally speaking, they are bivalve mollusks.

Note from asker:
| Dziękuję bardzo, ale muszę zaznaczyć, że informacje zawarte w linku są nieprawidłowe. Clams żyją jak najbardziej w wodzie słonej, w Pacyfiku nad którym od dekad mieszkam. Clams wykopuje się na oceanicznej plaży. Czyli link jest jednak niewiarygodny. Oto przykłady: https://islandfishermanmagazine.com/west-coast-clamming-can-you-dig-it/ https://www.qualicumbreezehouse.com/things-to-do/at-the-resort/ Zatem czy słodkowodne czy słonowodne - nie stanowi to rozróżnienia między clams a mussels. Dziękuję. |
