Deep-sea clams primarily feed on organic matter that settles from the water column, including phytoplankton and detritus. Some species, like the giant tube worms and certain clams associated with hydrothermal vents, have symbiotic relationships with chemosynthetic bacteria that convert hydrogen sulfide from the vent fluids into energy, providing nourishment for the clams. These clams rely on these unique food sources due to the scarcity of sunlight and primary production in deep-sea environments.
