A note

The Blue Mussel gives off this weird scent. Some people call it "gas." But really, the Blue Mussel uses it to scare off predators. What do they eat?

File:Miesmuscheln-2.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Miesmuscheln-2.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on November 29, 2010. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2010-11-29. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 10:23, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

Three specimens of blue mussel (Mytilus edulis), a medium-sized edible marine bivalve mollusc. Blue mussels live in intertidal areas around the world, attached to rocks and other hard substrates by strong (and somewhat elastic) thread-like structures called byssal threads. They are commonly harvested as food in many different cuisines. In the upper left, the mussel is closed. The upper right shows the mussel slightly open, with the white posterior adductor muscle visible. Lastly, in the bottom individual, the adductor muscle has been cut to allow the valves to open fully.Photo: Rainer Zenz

Suggestions

This article neglects to mention ″Hemigrapsus sanquiens″ also known as the Asian Shore Crab and ″Carcinus maenas″also known as the Green Crab as predators. Secondly the article also forgets to mention the defense capability of shell thickening. Lastly in the top of this notes section there is a question referring to the diet of Mussels, which is in fact entirely plankton and a mussel can filter up to sixty five liters of water a day doing so.
