Bathymodiolus Thermophilus
''Bathymodiolus thermophilus'' is a species of large, deep water mussel, a marine bivalve mollusc in the family Mytilidae, the true mussels. The species was discovered at abyssal depths when submersible vehicles such as DSV Alvin began exploring the deep ocean. It occurs on the sea bed, often in great numbers, close to hydrothermal vents where hot, sulphur-rich water wells up through the floor of the Pacific Ocean. Description ''Bathymodiolus thermophilus'' is a very large mussel with a dark brown periostracum, growing to a length of about . It is attached to rocks on the seabed by byssus threads but it is able to detach itself and move to a different location. It is sometimes very abundant, having been recorded at densities of up to 300 individuals per square metre (270 per square yard). Distribution ''Bathymodiolus thermophilus'' is found clustered around deep sea thermal vents on the East Pacific Rise between 13°N and 22°S and in the nearby Galapagos Rift at depth ...

The gills of some species, such as hermit crabs, have adapted to allow respiration on land provided they are ..., which help to transfer methane into material and energy to help it to thrive in such environments.

Bathymodiolus Marisindicus
''Bathymodiolus marisindicus'' is a species of deepwater hydrothermal vent mussel, a marine bivalve mollusk species in the family Mytilidae, the mussels. This species is found in the Indian Ocean.

The species can be distinguished from other species in the same genus by the length of the foot, the height to length ratio and thickness of the shell and the fact that the umbones are not at the very tip of the shell. Other distinguishing features are the length and strength of the ligament, and the unique positions of the anterior retractor muscle scar and the anterior bundle scar of the posterior ...

Mytilidae
Mytilidae are a family of small to large marine and brackish-water bivalve molluscs in the order Mytilida. One of the genera, ''Limnoperna'', even inhabits freshwater environments. The order has only this one family which contains some 52 genera.Bouchet, P. (2014Mytilidae Rafinesque, 1815World Register of Marine Species Species in the family Mytilidae are found worldwide, but they are more abundant in colder seas, where they often form uninterrupted beds on rocky shores in the intertidal zone and the shallow subtidal. The subfamily Bathymodiolinae is found in deep-sea habitats. Mytilids include the well-known edible sea mussels. A common feature of the shells of mussels is an asymmetrical shell which has a thick, adherent periostracum. The animals attach themselves to a solid substrate using a byssus. A 2020 study of the phylogeny of Mytilidae recovered two main clades derived from an epifaunal ancestor, with subsequent lineages shifting to other lifestyles, and correlat ...
