A group of mussels collectively are called shellfish, clams, bivalves and unionids.
Freshwater mussels live in rivers, while saltwater mussels live in oceans. Even though it is mussels, it differs a lot. Freshwater mussel and saltwater mussels hunt different things, because they live in different places.
Mussels feed on such things as: plankton, remains of animals and plants, and bacteria. Mussels feed in a process known as siphoning. There is an opening in their body called a siphon in which water and microscopic particles flow through. The gills secrete a thick substance that traps the particles inside during this process, as food.
A group of cockles is typically referred to as a bed or a shoal. This collective noun is used to describe a gathering of these bivalve mollusks in their natural habitat, such as sandy or muddy seabeds. The term "bed" is commonly used when referring to a larger group of cockles, while "shoal" is often used for a smaller grouping.
No, mussels are not crustaceans. Mussels belong to the phylum Mollusca, while crustaceans belong to the phylum Arthropoda. Mussels are bivalve mollusks, characterized by two hinged shells and a soft body inside, whereas crustaceans have a hard exoskeleton and segmented bodies.
Mussels are aquatic animals that live in both freshwater and saltwater environments. They can be found in rivers, lakes, and oceans around the world, typically in shallow waters where they can attach themselves to rocks or other surfaces.
Mussels are included in group Bivalvia of Phylum Mollusca . They have two piece shell.
A group of mussels is commonly referred to as a "bed" or a "bank." These terms reflect how mussels often cluster together in large groups on the seafloor or attached to surfaces in their aquatic environments.
If the mussels in the experimental group died, the students would know that whatever condition or factor being tested in the experiment had a detrimental effect on the mussels. This could provide valuable information on the impact of that specific factor on the mussels' survival.
They are both in the Molluscs group.
Mussels as a group comprise many different species in the class Bivalvia; they are mainly found in the three subclasses Pteriomorphia, Paleoheterodonta and Heterodonta. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Class: Bivalvia Subclasses | Pteriomorpha (marine mussels) Palaeoheterodonta (freshwater mussels) Heterodonta (zebra mussels)
clams, oysters, or mussels
A group of mussels is commonly referred to as a "bed" or a "gathering." These bivalve mollusks often cluster together on submerged surfaces, forming dense colonies. The term "bed" typically describes their habitat rather than a social grouping like in some other animal species.
What Do Mussels Eat?What do freshwater mussels eat? • Fish, turtles, leaves? No - freshwater mussels eat microscopic plants and animals called plankton • They also eat bacteria and detritus (dead plant and animal pieces) suspended in the water.How do freshwater mussels eat? • Freshwater mussels do not hunt or search for their food; they wait for it to come to them • Freshwater mussels filter feed by sucking water in through a siphon (kind of like a little hose) • Water passes over gills where food particles get filtered out and carried by little hairs called cilia to the mouth
Mussels are a general term used for several different families of clams. Clams that are edible and have an elongated, asymmetrical shell are called Mussels.
A group of oysters is called a bed Actually, it's called a culch.
Mussels are shellfish, not rabbits. I would suggest not feeding mussels leaves.
Zebra mussels have stripes.
