Many bivalve molluscs, for example the mussel Mytilus edulis, feed on particles suspended in the surrounding water. They do this by filter feeding. The mussel lives in the intertidal zone, attached to a solid surface by threads secreted by the muscular foot, so it is not able to move around like some related molluscs.

We studied size-selective predation by Common Eiders (Somateria mollissima) feeding on blue mussels (Mytilus edulis). Selection varied with location, season, and prey availability, and for the most part ducks preferred smaller mussels than those that would have been the most energetically profitable on a per prey basis.
