Description: | This species of bivalve lives in deep, cold water throughout the North Sea, The North Atlantic and the Arctic. It can grow to large sizes. Specimens from the Bering Sea in the Canadian Arctic grow up to 18 cm long. Like most bivalves this species lives buried in the seabed and feeds by filtering organic particles out of the water. This specimen was collected in deep water offshore of the river Tyne. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.invertebratezoology.19793 | Go to resource |
