Included within the class Bivalvia are the mussels, oysters, clams, and scallops. Mussels and oysters tend to be sessile animals that filter feed on suspended phytoplankton. Clams are bivalves that live in sandy or muddy environments and move about using a hatchet-shaped foot. They feed by sucking in water through an incurrent siphon. Scallops are benthic epifauna and some free-living species swim by clapping their shells.
