Often attach and bind together on rocky structure to form a mussel bed.
經常在岩石結構上依附著並聚集在一起形成「蛤床」
Unlike gastropods like snails which attach themselves using strong muscular feet to the shore, mussels secrete a bundle of filaments called byssus (also known as “beard” in daily usage) and attach themselves to surfaces on the shore.
與依靠強壯的腹足依附著在岸上不同的腹足類動物(例如螺)不同,蛤會分泌一束稱為足絲(byssus)的細絲支撐自身在表面上
Mussel bed create a complex structure allowing other intertidal species such as crabs to seek shelter and food.
