The five kingdoms of life are monea, protista, fungi, plantae , and animalia, which include animas like clams. Within the Animalia kingdom that are different groups, each which are called phylums, and clams are considered in the phylum group known as mollusks. Mollusks which derive from the latin word mollis, means "soft". In the world ther are 1500 different kinds of mollusks whome are grouped into six different classes. One of these classes are called bivalves, which are aquatic mollusks because they their shells close together along their upper midline. The clams, which fir in the bivalve catergory, are unique creatures that have many preadoters, and can be harvested during clamming season.
The world clam comes from an Anglo-Saxon word that

Otters also enjoy these delicious bivalves, especially the butter clams. Bears and seagulls also prey on there clams. One of the ways the seagulls enjoy eating them is by dropping them on rocks so that they crack open. These animals enjoy clams, just as much as we do, but there are restrictions to when and where people can dig up clams.
The timing and length of clam season varies between countries, states, and communities . Some are year round seasons, while others are only a week at a time. But in general, the coastel areas set ther clam season depending on the weather and close it when they are dangerous levels of algae on the water. This wat they can watch the clam population or allow younger clams to grow. While in other areas where there is a sign of red tide conditons, the clams eat the diatoms, or algae, which increase the amount of toxin in them. This is protects them form predators but it is harful ro humans, so clam season can be suspende until the clas are safe to eat. These delicious bivalves are abundant but not alwasy available.
These varying bivalves nourishe wild life, including humans, but they are restricted to certain
These animals are called polyps, and can live on their own, though tend to group up to form coral. Different groups of corals can eat different thing, depending on their size. A coral that is bigger would probably eat small fish, while a coral that is smaller might eat
The location of where the oysters are grown and the conditions of that environment are extremely important to the oyster industry. The Croxtons explained that the oysters are put in cages that are elevated above the muddy sea floor so they can eat better food and have a better lifestyle. Another theme of geography that is used is human-environment impact. The Croxtons are impacting the environment and ecosystem of Chesapeake Bay in a beneficial way by harvesting oysters. The oysters help filter the water in the
“A crustacean is an aquatic arthropod of the class Crustacea, which comprises crabs, shrimp, barnacles, lobsters, and freshwater crayfish. The point is that lobsters are basically giant sea insects…not nice to look at. They’ll eat some live shellfish, certain kinds of injured fish, and sometimes one another.” (Wallace

River otters have beautiful coats and thus they have been hunted by many people. They mainly eat fish, but they eat many other easily accessible things, like shellfish, crustaceans, mollusks, oysters, birds, rodents, and frogs. Their population is hard to tally, but has been estimated to be over 100,000 based on harvest reports. River otters may be found in all states and territories of the U.S. and Canada. They will only settle into an area amidst concealing structures, generally consisting of foliage or rock piles.

Sea otters diet is mostly small marine life. Otters eat slow-moving fish, crabs, abalone, sea urchins, clams, mussels, and snails. They can also eat 25% to 30% of their weight. A large male may eat as much as 25 lb. of food
They also ate oysters and clams. Occasionally they would eat meat such as deer and bear, but the fish was the main source of food in their diet. The men were in charge of hunting and catching the fish. They used nets, spears and traps to catch their food. The women gathered oysters, clams and berries.
Beaches, docks, and other shallow, oxygen-rich areas provide a suitable habitat for the clams. Because of this, Asian clams greatly impact swimming areas since their sharp shells can cause injuries among swimmers. Also located in shallow areas of lakes, typically, are water intake systems, which Asian clams also have the tendency to clog and ultimately destroy. Since the town of Lake George 's main drinking water source is the lake, this creates a huge issue. The clams also clog water intake systems in private boats and homes, costing owners hundreds of dollars to fix.
“Sepia apama has a bulky body, with 10 appendages (8 short, heavy arms, and 2 larger extensible tentacles)” (Aglibot). These two retractable tentacles are used for catching prey and mating, Sepia apama mate during the Southern Hemisphere winter, June to August. When mating a male's retractable tentacles are extended completely out to make themselves look bigger and they change their color very quickly to attract a mate. They eat crabs, fish, and crustaceans, which are shrimp, lobsters, krill, and barnacles. The retractable tentacles are used to eat these organisms, by grabbing the prey they hold while Sepia apama eats away with its parrot like beak.
Bass are a predatory fish, this means that they have to eat other living animals to survive. To hunt, bass will hide in structure, such as a submerged log, or some grass and ambush their prey. When their prey swims by the fish will swim out quickly and eat the food. Bass will eat anything that swims, they will eat minnows, crawfish, frogs,worms and even mice and ducklings that fall into the water. Bass will also eat other fish and sometimes lizards that fall into the water.
