On the leaves, also, various patelliform shells, Trochi, uncovered molluscs, and some bivalves are attached.

Previous studies have suggested that bivalve colonies can reduce local erosion.

2014), and mucosal secretions covering bivalve pallial organs contain a wide range of antimicrobial factors (Pales Espinosa et al.

Biology and Ecology of Edible Marine Bivalve Molluscs

Organic and non-organic compositions and biomineralization in bivalve shells have been relatively well studied [18-20].

Predation on bivalve mollusks by gastropod mollusks is common in coastal regions; however, few studies have examined whether predatory gastropod mollusks exhibit prey selection.

Bivalve fishing is well-documented in South American countries in studies of bivalve mollusks in the Pectinidae family, spots in Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile (Castilla and Defeo, 2001), and loco snails in Chile (Castilla and Defeo, 2001).
