There is a kind of shellfish called mackerel, which is a large shellfish of the genus clam. What is the function of the clam?

Do you know a kind of shellfish called clam? Do you want to know about it? Let's take a look at it together.

Meretrix Meretrix Linnaeus is the largest two shellfish in the world, and its meat is edible. The adductor muscle that controls the opening and closing of the shell is the famous ingredient-dried scallops. Its shell is large, beautiful and changeable, and it is also one of the seven treasures of Buddhist sutras. Whether it is for food or as an art collection, it is very popular.

Because the Meretrix Mere From 1983 to 1985, 2 genera and 10 species of Meretridae were listed in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered species of Wild Fauna and Flora (commonly known as the Washington Convention) to regulate the trade in Meretrix Meretrix and related products.

Meretrix Meretrix used to be mainly used as food, art or live ornamental, but now there may be another important task, which is to absorb carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Since the shell of Meretrix Meretrix is mainly composed of calcium carbonate, the process of forming calcium carbonate must absorb carbon dioxide dissolved in sea water (in the form of carbonate ions). Faced with the threat of Greenhouse Effect and global warming caused by excessive carbon dioxide emissions due to the heavy use of fossil fuels, the world has gradually established a consensus to control carbon dioxide emissions. In this way, species such as Meretrix Meretrix, which can absorb carbon dioxide, will be new farmed species that can be promoted.
