Wikipedia Wiktionary dictionary logo

  • The word "clam" can be applied to freshwater mussels, and other freshwater bivalves, as well as marine bivalves. In the United States, "clam" can be used in several different ways: one, as a general term covering all bivalve molluscs. The word can also be used in a more limited sense, to mean bivalves which burrow in sediment, as opposed to ones which attach themselves to the substrate, or ones which can swim and are migratory, like scallops.
