[ ] habitat distribution
Ecological environment: 1 inhabits storm a calm bay, sediment, rocks or gravel more submarine, to foot wire fixation life in rocks or stones, with the trend of patency, quality is better in the growth of fertilizer. From the low tide line near to water depth of about 10m have growth, usually in the depths of more 5m. Bacillariophyta as staple food, comfortable and growth temperature in 15-30 C, spawning period 5-10 month, faster growth, generally 2 years is up to about 70mm shell height.
2 inhabits the intertidal zone near the low tide line, to foot attached to rocks or coral reefs within the raphe, and attached to the back wave rock base.
More than 3 inhabits water depth of about 20m in 60m area, also can be collected to the depths of.
4 habitat and distribution with the Hepu Pearl oyster.
5 live in freshwater rivers and lakes with sandy mud bottom.
6 live in the rivers, lakes and mud bottom, slow.

[ ] a variety of chemical composition of mussel shells, often containing trace strontium ( Strontium, Sr ). They have powerful integrated strontium ability, so the water is contaminated by Sr90, by the analysis of the shell of Sr90 rather poorly. See shell strip.
[ ] with the pharmacological effects of shell powder feeding rats and mice, there is increasing the role of weight. The absorption rate of 14.45%, the absolute absorption of 12.67mg, ratio of calcium hydrogen phosphate group and control group, radiographs of the femur and the calcium content analysis showed that bone calcification, the shell powder calcium have some utility. The effects of strontium and calcium are similar to, but weaker and the toxicity is low. Previously considered a toxicity, may be associated with one containing barium strontium absorption ( mainly caused by, rarely in the stomach, absorption ) in the blood strontium excretion also very quickly, as when injected into the calcium can promote its discharged into the body, mainly stored in bones, can inhibit bone calcification. Only clinical use of radioactive strontium.
