[ ] the original morphology
1Sinonovacula constricta, cylindrical shell is long, thin and crisp, and shared it transparent, general shell length40-85mm, about long 1 /3, width is long 1 /5-1 / 4. Shell roof slightly back edge of front end, about1/ 3 of the length of the shell. Dorsal ventral margin of nearly parallel, front and rear end slightly round, two shell closed front end opening. In the shell top later has black brown spindle-shaped ligament, short and prominent. Since the shell top oblique ventral edge of the central portion has a concave groove, named Sinonovacula constricta. Hull form is a layer of yellow green shell, top shell often falls off and is white. Line of growth significantly. White shell surface, shell roof below and hull form oblique groove corresponding to the bulge. Hinge, the left shell with3main gear, the central1is more powerful, bifurcation; the right shell with2main gear, the front1and shell surface behind the vertical,1tilted backwards. Coat mark significantly, Dou Kuan, deep, rounded front end. Adductor scar triangle, before Mark smaller after mark larger. Foot developed, on both sides of the flat, hatchety, tip, forming an oval plantar surface. Water pipe2, long and separated, end have tentacle.
2Solen, shell long and narrow thin, brittle, general shell long 50-120mm, long6-7 times for high. Shell shell top is located in the front, not prominent, two shell inclusion in bamboo shaped, front and rear end opening. Shell edge is truncate, slightly tilted slightly rounded; back, dorsal and ventral margin of the ventral margin of the middle straight, or slightly concave, parallel to each other. External ligament yellow-brown, narrowly, about1/ 5 of the length of the shell. Shell has a brown shell, smooth. Growth line fine uniform, since the leading edge was like and the ventral margin of nearly parallel; dorsal margin is a drop back into arc, sometimes brown fold. The shell surface is white or pale yellow. Hinge, each shell each having main gear1. Coat mark extremely elongated, with few equal ligament; posterior adductor scars with segmental bone. Full developed, elongated, cylindrical.
3Solen grandis, the shell was bamboo shaped, high water, general shell long 72-140mm, long4-5 times for high. With the same solen. The shell surface is convex, brown shell. The ventral margin and the rear end shell to shell clam pack volume. Growth lines clear, sometimes with reddish color belt. White shell surface or slightly reddish purple. Each muscle, anterior adductor scar long; posterior adductor scar slightly triangular, fully developed, the front tip, or flat. Water is short and thick. The two tubular healing, composed of several parts, terminal tentacle.
The 4elongated Razorfish, shell is more slender, quality very crisp, general shell long 65-124mm, long6-12 times as high, shell table is greenish brown shell, and a dark stripe number. Growth lines and shell the dorsal margin of almost vertical. Shell table diagonal reach the end edge. Yu and SOLEN approximation.
[ ] habitat distribution
Ecological environment:1 hi inhabits the lower salinity near the mouth of the river or a small amount of fresh water into the inner bay, buried in mud, habitat in low areas of beach, general dive into the depth of 100-200mm. Mainly in diatoms for food. Unisexual reproduction period,8-11.
2lives from the intertidal zone to the shallow sea, in under the sandy seabed. Buried depth of 200-300mm habitat. Dioecious, spring, summer of alternating current reproduction.
3lives from the intertidal zone and shallow sea, in under the mud beach, buried depth of 300-500mm cave habitat, oblique, and the ground about70 degrees - 80 degrees c..
4lives from the intertidal zone and shallow sea mud, sand, buried depth of about300mm habitat.
Resource distribution:1North and south of our country coastal regions have a distribution, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places have artificial breeding.
The 2South China coastal regions have a distribution of von.
3China's coastal regions have a distribution.
