The sea rainbow is a bivalve mollusk with a black-brown shell, and a mussel shell that is wedge-shaped, with a pointed, thin front end and a broad, rounded back end. Generally the shell length is 6 to 8 centimeters, and the shell length is less than twice the shell height.

The top of the shell is near the front of the shell. The two shells are equal and symmetrical, the shell surface is purple-black, with luster, and the growth lines are fine and obvious, growing in a circular pattern from the top.

The inner surface of the shell is grayish-white, and the marginal part is blue with pearly luster. The articulation is long, the ligament dark brown, about as long as the articulation. The articulating teeth are undeveloped, and the posterior shell-closing muscles are reduced or absent. The foot is very small, thin and soft.

Nutritional value--

Every 100 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 up to 59.3%. Mussels also contain a variety of vitamins and essential manganese, zinc, selenium, iodine and other trace elements.

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, as well as chickens, ducks, fish, shrimp and meat and other essential amino acids.
