Mussel shell with seaweed on beach still life portrait
The common name mussel is used for members of several different families of clams or bivalve molluscs, from both saltwater and freshwater habitats. "Mussel" is a loose and inaccurate term, but it has historically been applied to those families of clams where the shell is longer than it is wide, being wedge-shaped or asymmetrical-looking, and where the external color of the shell is dark blue or brown, as opposed to the more globular lighter-colored families of bivalves
