Abra (bivalve)

	Abra (bivalve) Abra is a genus of saltwater clams, marine bivalve mollusks in the family Semelidae. Members of this genus are mostly under 1.5 centimeters long, and have thin shells which are usually white. These bivalves normally live under the surface of sandy and muddy sediments, in the neritic zone. They are considered an important food source for flat fish.Rees, H.L. and Dare. P.J (1993)Sources of mortality and associated life-cycle traits of selected benthic species: a review. Fisheries Research Data Report No. 33, Directorate of Fisheries Research, Lowestoft.

picture info	Bivalve Shell A bivalve shell is part of the body, the exoskeleton or shell, of a bivalve mollusk. In life, the shell of this class of mollusks is composed of two hinged parts or ''valves''. Bivalves are very common in essentially all aquatic locales, including saltwater, brackish water, and freshwater. The shells of bivalves commonly wash up on beaches (often as separate valves) and along the edges of lakes, rivers, and streams. Bivalves by definition possess two shells or ''valves'', a "right valve" and a "left valve", that are joined by a ligament. The two valves usually articulate with one another using structures known as "teeth" which are situated along the hinge line. In many bivalve shells, the two valves are symmetrical along the hinge line—when truly symmetrical, such an animal is said to be ''equivalved''; if the valves vary from each other in size or shape, ''inequivalved''. If symmetrical front-to-back, the valves are said to be ''equilateral'', and are otherwise considered ''in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Abra Prismatica ''Abra prismatica'' is a species of bivalve mollusc in the family Semelidae. It occurs in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, where it lives on the seabed, in shallow areas buried in soft sediment. Description ''Abra prismatica'' grows to a length of about . Each shell valve is fine and brittle, about twice as long as it is wide and oval or fusiform. It is sculptured with fine concentric lines, the chondrophore (pit to which the internal ligament is attached) points to the posterior. On the right valve are two small cardinal teeth in front of the chondrophore, and a single anterior and single posterior lateral teeth behind it. On the left valve there is a single small cardinal tooth and two small anterior and posterior laterals. The valves are shiny white both inside and out. Distribution ''Abra prismatica'' is found on the coasts of northwest Europe, the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea at depths down to about . It is common around the Br ...

	Abra Alba ''Abra alba'', or the white furrow shell, is a species of bivalve mollusc in the family Semelidae. It occurs in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, where it lives on the floor in shallow areas buried in soft sediments. Description ''Abra alba'' can grow to up to long but a more usual size is 1.5 centimetres. It has a pair of thin brittle valves that are translucent, semi-shiny and a dirty white colour with a pale brown periostracum. The shape is roughly oval and the posterior and anterior dorsal margins are almost straight and slope to rounded ends. Both margins are smooth and the anterior margin is a little longer than the posterior one. The valves have a sculpture of fine concentric lines and the growth stages of the animal are visible. The interior of the valves is somewhat glossy and the adductor muscle scars may be visible. The small brown ligament that holds the valves together is exterior.
