Clam
In the United States, "clam" can be used in several different ways: First, as a general term covering all bivalve molluscs. The word can also be used in a more limited sense, means that of cave sediments bivalves, rather than those attached to the substrate, or those who can swim, like scallops. In addition, the mussels can be used in a more limited sense, refers to one or more varieties of commonly consumed marine bivalves, in the phrase clam chowder, which means that shellfish soup usually clams . Many edible bivalves are roughly oval-shaped; however, the Pacific razor clam has an elongated, parallel-sided shell, the shape of the show, an old-fashioned straight razor. In the United Kingdom, "clam" is one of the common names of various species of marine bivalve mollusc, but it is not used as a general term to cover edible clams that burrow, and it is not used as a general term for all bivalves. Numerous edible marine bivalve species live buried in sand or mud, and respire by means of siphons, which reach to the surface. In the United States, these clams are collected by "digging for clams" or clam digging. In October 2007 an Arctica islandica clam, caught off the coast of Iceland, was discovered to be at least 405 years old, and was declared the world's oldest living animal by researchers from Bangor University; it was later named Ming.
