| clams vs. mussels małże słodkowodne vs małże słonowodne/morskie Explanation: How are mussels and clams different? Mussels, clams, oysters, and scallops definitely look quite similar at a first glance, but even though they have the same shape and are mollusks, there are significant differences between them. While mussels are found in freshwater and saltwater regions, clams only inhabit freshwater bodies - https://kidadl.com/facts/mussels-vs-clams-difference-between... -- Mussels are for members of bivalvia mollusca that come from saltwater and freshwater. Members of this group have a shell with an outline that is elongated and asymmetrical, and are less oval or circular in shape. The word “mussel” indicates it is an edible bivalve that comes from the marine family Mytilidae. Oftentimes they live in shores by the intertidal zone. They are strongly attached with the help of their byssal threads so that they can form a firm substrate. Additionally, there are a few species that have inhabited the hydrothermal vents that are connected with deep ocean ridges. Most of the marine mussels’ shell is longer, wedge-shaped, or asymmetrical. The external color would be dark blue, brown, and black, but the insides would be silver or grayish and look nacreous. As for clams, they are freshwater bivalves. Generally speaking, they are bivalve mollusks. Read more: Difference Between Mussels and Clams | Difference Between http://www.differencebetween.net/science/nature/difference-b... |
