It is distributed along the coast of Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea in China. Mussel shells are wedge-shaped, with a pointed and thin front end and a broad and rounded back end. Generally, the shell length is 6-8 centimeters, and the length of the shell is less than two times of the height of the shell. The shell is thin. The top of the shell is near the very tip of the shell. The two shells are equal and symmetrical, the shell surface is purple-black, with luster, the growth lines are fine and obvious, from the top of the ring-shaped growth.

According to the analysis, every hundred grams of fresh mussel meat contains 10.8 grams of protein, 2.4 grams of sugar, 2.4 grams of ash, 1.4 grams of fat, and the protein content of dried mussel meat is as high as 59.3%. Mussels also contain a variety of vitamins and essential manganese, zinc, selenium, iodine and other trace elements. It is worth mentioning that the high nutritional value of mussels is also due to the fact that the protein it contains has 8 essential amino acids, such as valine and leucine, which are much higher than the content of eggs and essential amino acids of chickens, ducks, fish, shrimps and meat. According to another study, mussel fat also contains essential fatty acids, its saturated fatty acid content, lower than pig, beef, lamb and milk and other foods, unsaturated fatty acid content is relatively high, known as the sea eggs.
