Bivalvia is a class of mollusks that all have two shells. It includes the clams, oysters, scallops and mussels. There are over 20,000 species of bivalves around the world, and probably thousands not yet discovered.Nearly all of them live in salt water, but a few groups have evolved to live in freshwater.Bivalves have two shells that they can close together tightly for protection, with their whole body inside.here are over 20,000 species of bivalves around the world, and probably thousands not yet discovered. Nearly all of them live in salt water, but a few groups have evolved to live in freshwater. Bivalves have two shells that they can close together tightly for protection, with their whole body inside.
The main muscular system in bivalves is the posterior and anterior adductor muscles, although the anterior muscles may be reduced or even lost in some species. These strong muscles connect the two valves and contract in order to close the shell.ost bivalves are filter feeders, using their gills to capture particulate food such as phytoplankton from the water. The protobranchs feed in a different way, scraping detritus from the seabed, and this may be the original mode of feeding used by all bivalves before the gills became adapted for filter feeding.
