mussels have high nutritional value and contain protein, fat, sugar, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins A, B1 and B2. Every 1g edible part of mussel contains 1.9g of protein, 248mg of calcium, 26.6mg of iron, 6.23mg of zinc and 35mg of phosphorus.

There are 243 micrograms of vitamin A, 2.24 micrograms of selenium, 2.3 micrograms of carotene, and more riboflavin and other nutrients, and the total energy can reach 2.71 MJ/kg.

Extended information

Living habits of mussels:

1. Habitat

In the natural environment, mussels generally live in muddy, sandy or gravel such as rivers, lakes, ponds and streams. When it is cold in winter and spring, the axe foot is used to dig the mud fen, so that the mussel body is partially submerged in the sediment, with the front belly edge downward and the back edge upward.

only the rear edge of the shell is exposed for breathing and feeding. In hot weather, most of them are exposed outside the mud. The toothless mussel generally lives in still water with a muddy bottom and a pH value of 5 ~ 9 or in slow-flowing fat water.

2.

The food that mussels eat is mainly unicellular algae, protozoa and organic debris, such as rotifers, flagellates, green worms, green algae, scenedesmus, navicular algae, dinoflagellate, quadrangular algae, spindle diatom, Corynebacterium, crustacean debris and plant leaves.

3, action

The action ability of mussels is very weak. When the environment is calm, they are dragged by ligaments, and the emblem slightly opens its double shells and slowly stretches out its axe feet. Generally, the axe foot extends to the front of the shell and is fixed on the mud, and then the clam body is contracted and moved forward. This kind of crawling is very slow, usually only a few centimeters a minute. There is a shallow ditch where the mussel passes. When the mussel encounters an enemy, the axe foot retracts quickly, the obturator muscle contracts sharply at the same time, and the double shells are tightly closed to defend against foreign enemies.
