mussel

These worms, still common today, bore into the shells of mussels and oysters but typically don't kill their hosts outright.

The amphipod was discovered at a depth of 2,602 meters in a mussel bed within the Galápagos Rift hydrothermal vent fields.

Locals arrive with buckets and rakes, digging for mussels and clams—“fishing on foot,” they call it.

Mollusks such as snails and mussels, along with vertebrates, were the most affected, while plants and arthropods faced relatively few losses.

We ordered what I consider to be the perfect lunch: mussels poached in white wine and herbs, slices of crusty country loaf griddled in olive oil, and a plate of frites with aioli.
