dried mussel

Chinese name: mussels English name: dried mussels Definition: Dried mussels. Cabbage is the meat of mussels. Also called shell vegetables or mussels. Marine soft mussels are bivalve mollusks with dark brown shells and live on coastal rocks. Mussel, commonly known as Haihong in northern China, is one of the world-famous seafood. Mytilus is an important species in shellfish culture, which is cultivated in many parts of the world, especially in northern Europe, North America and Australia, where mussels are very popular and produce a large number. The economic value of mussel is very high, and it also has certain medicinal and edible value. Mussel is a dried product of mussel (Mytilidae in Latin), also known as shell vegetable. Mytilus is a kind of marine mollusk and a kind of bivalve, and its body structure is basically the same as that of clam, oyster and mussel. However, its left and right tunics are not only connected at the back, but also healed a little at the back, so an obvious drainage hole is formed at the back. There are many small branched tentacles on the rafters of the posterior ventral surface of the mantle. The water flowing through the mussel body flows into the mantle cavity from between the mantle with tentacles, and then passes through the gills to the back of the body and is discharged from the drainage hole. Mytilus uses the seawater flowing through its body to breathe and circulate, and it also uses the tiny creatures brought into its body by the current as food. [1] Mytilus edulis has two adductor muscles, the front one is very small, and the back one is very large, which belongs to heterotypic class. Its ligaments are born on the back edge of the body, and the two shells are divided equally. Mussels also use adductor muscles and ligaments to open and close shells. However, mussels can't close their shells as tightly as clams do, and there are often gaps, which are the places where their feet protrude, because mussels live on seabed rocks or other foreign objects with their feet secreted by their feet. Foot silk is a kind of protein thing, which is strong and tough, so it is very powerful to fix it with foot silk, and sometimes it is very laborious for people to pick it. However, after mussels are fixed with foot silk, they can also contain foot silk and make their bodies do small-scale activities on the fixed surface. If the environment changes, it can also make the foot silk fall off, carry out a wide range of activities, secrete new foot silk in a new suitable environment, and re-fix.
