      River mussels, also known as river clams, river clams, bird clams, etc., belong to the mollusk phylum Lamellibranchidae and are a common shellfish aquatic animal. River mussels live by filter-feeding algae, and there are several common species such as the horn-backed toothless mussel, the pleated crested mussel, and the triangular sail mussel. They are produced in rivers and lakes in most parts of my country. River mussel meat is particularly crispy, tender and delicious, making it a delicacy for banquets.
