Shell roof is located on the front, sides have ear ear ear than before, after a little. The two shell varies, the right shell is flat, the left shell is slightly convex, right front ear beneath a clear foot wire sag. The dorsal margin is straight; the ventral margin round, shell light brown, concentric growth ring veins fine, flaky, water falling, mid is usually wear shape shell near the ventral margin of closely arranged, extends into the uvula end slightly tilted, foot hole, byssus is hairy. The shell of midface thick nacre and developed, with strong pearl luster. Some outer membrane to be stimulated, epithelial tissue rapid fission, and form pearl sac, and it continuously secretes nacre, gradually formed a pearl. The shell surface edge light yellow, no pearl layer. Hinge line straight, having a protuberance main gear, along the hinge line beneath with a long blade. Ligament is violet Brown, front button muscle obvious, is positioned in the shell below the adductor scar, large, oblong, slightly pointed front end, is located in central slightly near the rear shell.

[ ] 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.

Pharmacological action [ ]
Anticancer effect of clams and mussels from 1 tears to extract the active ingredients has obvious anti mouse ascites hepatoma and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma, tumor inhibition rate of 30%-59.2%; in vitro experiment proves that, the composition of right to inhibit tumor cell DNA polymerase alpha. Anodonta extract 25mg / ( kg d ) or 50mg / ( kg d ) dose of tumor-bearing animals continuous intraperitoneal injection for 7 days, on S180, Ehrlich, Lewis, B16 Lung Cancer melanoma human P388 leukemia with in vivo antitumor effects in vitro on; L1210, P388, HeLa, S3 and tumor cells without direct cytotoxic action; the extraction of associating objects can improve mouse peritoneal function, can enhance the specificity of T lymphocyte immune activity, but also can increase the natural killer cell cytotoxicity on tumor cells the ability.
2 from the clam and mussel toxicity, tears presented in the effective component to the mice, the LD50 4.02-5.86g / kg. Microbial mutagenicity test negative.
