Bivalves
Bivalvia (), in previous centuries referred to as the Lamellibranchiata and Pelecypoda, is a class of marine and freshwater molluscs that have laterally compressed bodies enclosed by a shell consisting of two hinged parts. As a group, bivalves have no head and they lack some usual molluscan organs, like the radula and the odontophore. They include the clams, oysters, cockles, mussels, scallops, and numerous other families that live in saltwater, as well as a number of families that live in freshwater. The majority are filter feeders. The gills have evolved into ctenidia, specialised organs for feeding and breathing. Most bivalves bury themselves in sediment, where they are relatively safe from predation. Others lie on the sea floor or attach themselves to rocks or other hard surfaces. Some bivalves, such as the scallops and file shells, can swim. The shipworms bore into wood, clay, or stone and live inside these substances. The shell of a bivalve is composed of calc ...

Mactridae
Mactridae, common name the trough shells or duck clams, is a family of saltwater clams, marine bivalve mollusks in the order Venerida. Description These clams have two short siphons, each with a horny sheath. The shell is shaped like a rounded-cornered equilateral triangle and there is a slight gape at the posterior. Each valve bears two cardinal teeth with four lateral teeth on the right valve and two on the left. The foot is white and wedge-shaped. They mostly inhabit the neritic zone. Ecology Trough shells burrow in sand or fine gravel and never in muddy substrates. Genera According to the World Register of Marine Species (2012), this family contains 37 genera: * '' Anatina'' Schumacher, 1817 * '' Austromactra'' Iredale, 1930 * '' Barymactra'' Cossmann in Cossmann & Peyrot, 1909 * '' Coelomactra'' Dall, 1895 * ''Crassula'' Marwick, 1948 * '' Cyclomactra'' Dall, 1895 * '' Darina'' Gray, 1853 * '' Diaphoromactra'' Iredale, 1930 * '' Eastonia'' Gray, 1853 * '' Harvella'' G ...
