Mussels are widely distributed in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, ponds and rice paddies and other bodies of water, usually living in the sediment underwater. Mussels can not actively pursue food, relying on the opening and closing of the shell, the inner coat membrane cilia and gill cilia swing caused by the water flow, food will enter the mussel body with the water.

Food enters the outer coat cavity with the water, particles along the gill filaments move upward to the base of the gills, move forward to the labellum, the labellum selects the small particles into the mouth, the large particles from the edge of the inner gills move backward in the intersection of the two gills, into the outer coat membrane trace to the back end, the shells slammed shut to be discharged out of the body.
