Mussels primarily inhabit the intertidal zone, where they can be found in areas exposed to both high and low tides. They thrive in regions that experience regular tidal fluctuations, allowing them to feed during high tide and remain submerged, while also being able to withstand periods of exposure during low tide. This adaptability helps them maintain their populations in various marine environments.

Why does the ribbed mussel not show any feeding activity during low tide?
The ribbed mussel does not exhibit feeding activity during low tide primarily because it is exposed to air, which can lead to desiccation (drying out). To conserve moisture and protect itself from harsh environmental conditions, it closes its shells tightly. Additionally, the lack of water limits the availability of food particles, such as phytoplankton and organic matter, that they filter from the water. Consequently, these mussels resume feeding only when submerged during high tide.
