Bivalves' Significance: Nurturing Aquatic Environments and Human Health
Vivek Kumar*, Durgesh Kumar Verma, Narendra Kumar Maurya and Ishwar Chandra
Abstract
The majority of bivalves, however, are filter feeders that link the benthos and the water column, resulting in either epifaunal or infaunal lifestyles. Bivalve ecology is a large field of study despite the limited comparison of aquatic habitats and lifestyles. Bivalves affect food webs both directly (as prey) and indirectly (as a result of energy and nutrient transfer). Materials deposited in shells and soft tissues have been utilized as environmental indicators. Large populations of freshwater mussels and oysters act as centers for biogeochemical processes and biodiversity in rivers and estuaries. Humans have used food, tools, money, and ornaments in the past. Today’s culture directly benefits from the use of bivalves by protecting shorelines and lowering nutrient pollution and has indirect benefits similar to those provided by food, construction materials, and other products.
