EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a pair of European thorny oysters (Spondylus gaederopus) gracefully rest on a black background, their rough, spiny shells glistening with the sheen of the ocean. Distributed around the northwest coasts of Africa, these intriguing bivalves are a fascinating example of the natural world's intricate designs. The European thorny oyster, also known as the spiny oyster or the long-lived oyster, is a member of the Bivalvia order, specifically the Ostreoida family. The species is easily recognizable by its elongated, oval-shaped shells, which are adorned with numerous spiky protrusions. These spines, which are not sharp but rather rough to the touch, serve as a defense mechanism against predators. Despite their intimidating appearance, European thorny oysters are filter feeders, filtering water through their gills to extract plankton and other microscopic organisms. They are an essential part of the marine ecosystem, providing habitat for various organisms and contributing to the overall health of the coastal environment. The European thorny oyster is not only a visual marvel but also a testament to the diversity and complexity of the molluscan world. Its unique features, such as its spiky shell and long, oval shape, make it a standout among other bivalves. This photograph serves as a reminder of the beauty and intrigue that can be found in the natural world, just waiting to be discovered.
