Mussels have adapted by learning how to survive. They mate through the water, mussels cant move after they settle on the bottom. They then attach their eggs to fish where they hatch and live until they are about 3 weeks old when they then fall to the bottom and live for many years.

How do mussels adapt to changing tides near the shore?

Mussels adapt to changing tides by clinging tightly to rocks or other surfaces using their strong byssal threads, which helps prevent being washed away by strong currents. They can also close their shells tightly to retain moisture and protect themselves from desiccation during low tide. Additionally, mussels have the ability to filter feed when submerged, allowing them to take advantage of nutrient-rich water during high tide. These adaptations enable them to survive and thrive in dynamic intertidal environments.
