Can you spot the mussel? 🥸 The Plain Pocketbook mussel tricks fish by disguising part of its shell as a lure that looks like a small fish or other prey. When a fish tries to bite the lure, the mussel releases tiny baby mussels that attach harmlessly to the fish’s gills or fins. They stay there until they grow big enough and then drop off. These freshwater mussels have all kinds of lures, from fish-shaped to wormy, and even crawfish-like. 📸Calvin Rezac | Mississippi Museum of Natural Science

How do mussels attach themselves onto rocks? 🤔 Byssal threads are strong, stretchy, and silky fibres that mussels and other bivalves use to attach themselves onto surfaces, such as rocks in the intertidal zone! 🌊 As waves crash against the shore, these threads allow flexibility yet stay strongly attached to the rocks. Mussels can grow up to about 100 of these threads from a gland in their foot! California mussels are Marine bivalves with thick shells growing up to about 5in long. They are ofte

Mussels create byssal threads, known as the mussel's "beard," to attach themselves to rocks and each other. They use their sensitive foot to mold the threads from scratch and apply a waterproof adhesive that makes even superglue jealous. | Deep Look • PBS

That’s not a mussel’s tongue👅! It’s actually a foot👣, which the mussel uses to make strong fibers so it can attach to rocks. Get an up-close look at what a mussel really does underwater in #DeepLook’s new video: https://www.kqed.org/science/1981819/yep-mussels-grow-beards-with-their-feet | KQED

How do mussels attach themselves onto surfaces? They’ve got some super strong hair-like structures that hold their bodies in place called byssal threads! With the tides and waves, these hairs help bivalves stay attached to their selected surface. #marinebiology #lowtide #naturalist #tidepooling #bivalves #pacificnorthwest #intertidal #mussels #salishsea | The Nature Educator

Mussels create byssal threads, known as the mussel's "beard," to attach themselves both to rocks and to each other. They use their sensitive foot to mold the threads from scratch and apply a waterproof adhesive that makes superglue jealous.
