What are the habits of the spinnaker mussel?

(1) Habitat. Spinnaker mussels prefer flowing water environment, generally inhabit muddy, sandy, gravel bottom rivers, lakes and ponds, PH value 7-8, dissolved oxygen more than 3 mg / l.

(2) Camera. Spinnaker mussels passively filter plankton in the water stream, such as diatoms, green algae, flagella, etc., and the amount of water filtered into the mussel body can reach 40 liters per day. Artificially cultivated pearls grasp the appropriate fertility of the cultured waters, ensure that the mussels have abundant food, and breed high-quality pearls.

(3) Action. Spinnaker mussels are weak in mobility. When the environment is calm, it is pulled by the ligaments, slightly opening the double shell, and slowly pulling out the axe foot. Generally the axe foot protrudes towards the front of the shell. And fixed on the mud, and then shrink the mussel body to move forward. When encountering an enemy, the axe foot quickly shrinks, and the closed shell muscle contracts sharply at the same time, and the double shell is tightly closed.
