Do you all know about the shellfish called purple clam?

Hello. This is Business Support OJT Co., Ltd. This time, we would like to introduce the "Purple Sea Mussel" that we handle. ■ Basic Information The Purple Sea Mussel is a type of bivalve that clusters in coastal rocky areas and is also known as "Moule." Appearance: The shell is a deep color ranging from blue-purple to black-purple, and its size is about 5 to 10 cm. Habitat: It clusters on rocky areas and artificial structures in coastal regions. It is distributed in the intertidal zone to a depth of about 10 meters and lives densely with other shells and organisms. ■ Ecology The Purple Sea Mussel attaches firmly to rocks and other shells using a thread-like organ called a byssus, making it less susceptible to being swept away by waves and currents, and by clustering together, they protect each other. ■ Impact of the Purple Sea Mussel This species is particularly known as an invasive species and can impact ecosystems. Additionally, due to its strong adhesion, it can attach to marine structures, necessitating maintenance. Our company upcycles the shells of the Purple Sea Mussel, a nuisance of the sea, into useful resources such as fertilizers and animal feed. If you are interested, please feel free to contact us!
