Mussel

Mussel () 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. The word "mussel" is frequently used to mean the bivalves of the marine family Mytilidae, most of which live on exposed shores in the intertidal zone, attached by means of their strong byssal threads ("beard") to a firm substrate.

Anodonta (les anodontes) est un genre de mollusques bivalves d'eau douce (moules). C'est dans le genre Anodonta que l'on trouve les espèces des plus grands bivalves d'eau douce d'Europe. Les coquilles à charnière anodonte sont en général fines.
