Clams, oysters, and mussels are in the shellfish family, under the subheadings of mollusks and bivalves. Mollusks include abalone and scallops as well as clams, oysters, and mussels. Bivalves are any creature with a soft body that lives between two hinged shells.
Not all mollusks have shells. Mollusks are a group of soft-bodied animals that includes snails, scallops, clams, and sea slugs. Most mollusks have shells: univalves, like snails, have one shell; bivalves, like clams, have two. Some mollusks, such as the squid and octopus, have lost their shells during their evolution. With 41% of the 736 documented extinctions of all animal species, the number of mollusks exceeds that of any other major taxonomic group 3. 2  Most documented endangered mollusk species are non marine (they live in freshwater or terrestrial environments) 5.
