Mussels are molluscs, which are referred to as Bivalvia in natural classification, which can be translated as “two-shelled ones” (Greek bi “two” + Latin valva “shell”). These animals live at the bottom of water bodies, in sand and mud, moving with their feet or swimming freely. They feed on tiny plankton and plant debris.
