This comprehensive volume provides a plethora of first-hand
information on the diversity, biology, and ecology of edible marine
bivalve molluscs. It covers the biology of edible marine bivalves;
profiles about 180 species, providing information on their habitat,
distribution, morphology, food and feeding, reproduction,
conservation status, etc.; discusses their nutritional values;
examines their pharmaceutical value; and looks at their diseases
and parasites. This abundance of knowledge is presented in an
easy-to-read style with informative illustrations. Marine bivalve
molluscs play important roles in the marine ecosystems by filtering
water and serving as habitat and prey for a variety of sea life.
This diverse group of species, estimated at around 9,200, inhabits
virtually the entire world's oceans, from the balmy tropics to the
sub-zero Arctic, and from deep oceans to sandy and rocky
shorelines. Among the marine bivalves, a total of 180 species
(including mussels, oysters, scallops, cockles, and clams) have
long been a part of the diet of coastal human populations. Many
species of marine bivalves are also commercially important for
other purposes, such as pearls and shells for jewelry and
decoration. The volume, part of the Biology and Ecology of Marine
Life book series, will be of great use to students and researchers
in fisheries science, marine biology, aquatic biology, and zoology.
