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.
The mussel is a bivalve mollusk. When the tide rushes in, that mussel will clam up.
