. Docking report manual : quide to fouling organisms and instructions regarding the docking report. Fouling organisms. Fig. U. Mussels (Mollusks). MOIXUSKS (Shellfish or Bivalves) This group includes the familiar edible clams, oysters, and mussels (fig. 4) . All of the forms important in fouling are characterized by having paired or "tvo-valved" shells. They are general- ly attached to the hull at the region of the hinge of this double shell. Very many shapes are found, but all are characterized by this paired hinged shell, a structure not found in any other group of fouling organism

All of the forms important in fouling are characterized by having paired or "tvo-valved" shells. They are general- ly attached to the hull at the region of the hinge of this double shell. Very many shapes are found, but all are characterized by this paired hinged shell, a structure not found in any other group of fouling organisms. Mollusks may grow to a large size, and since they may become attached to other Mollusks which in turn are attached to the hull, they frequently build up a large bulky mass of fouling. 14.
