Clams, crabs, and other marine life may add interest at coastal areas.

Clams can be eaten raw, steamed, boiled, baked or fried.

Clams are eaten more in the coastal regions of India, especially in the Konkan, Kerala, Bengal, and Karnataka regions.

In the south western coast of India, also known as the Konkan region, Clams are used to cook curries and side dishes, like Tisaryachi Ekshipi, which is clams with one shell on.

Clams or shellfish are locally called chipchip and local fishermen sell those in rural markets.

The song's meter allows it to be sung to a number of popular tunes including: " Amazing Grace "; " Greensleeves "; " The House of the Rising Sun "; " The Rising of the Moon / Wearing of the Green "; Beethoven's " Ode to Joy " ( in his Ninth Symphony, fourth movement ); " Oh My Darling, Clementine "; " Semper Paratus "; " The Marine Corps Hymn "; " The Yellow Rose of Texas "; " I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing "; " Ghost Riders in the Sky "; " Acres of Clams ", and the theme song from the TV show Gilligan's Island.

For many years, Wes Parker's Fried Clams was a landmark off state Route 128.

Clams are most commonly the motifs for this type of netsuke.

Clams and other bivalve mollusks use this catch phase of smooth muscle to keep their shell closed for prolonged periods with little energy usage.

Clams with bellies have the clam's gastrointestinal tract left intact and impart a fuller flavor.

Clams in themselves are low in cholesterol and fat, but fried clams absorb cooking fat.

Clams and mussels also live in Raritan Bay.

There are also " touch tanks " in a facility called the Sea Pavilion where visitors are permitted to handle North Atlantic Lobster, Snow Crabs, Rock Crabs, Clams ( also known as Pea Clams ), Sea Urchins, Sea Cucumbers, and other species.

Diagram of simple filtration: oversize particles in the feed cannot pass through the lattice structure of the filter, while fluid and small particles pass through, becoming filtrate.

It may be simultaneously combined with other unit operations to process the feed stream, as in the biofilter, which is a combined filter and biological digestion device.

In contrast, Mysticetes have evolved baleen plates to filter feed plankton and small fish from the water.

Black Swans are also able to filter feed at the water's surface.

In areas where roots are permanently submerged, the organisms they host include algae, barnacles, oysters, sponges, and bryozoans, which all require a hard surface for anchoring while they filter feed.

Eagle rays feed on mollusks and crustaceans, crushing their shells with their flattened teeth, while devil and manta rays filter plankton from the water.

Both marine and freshwater mussels are filter feeders ; they feed on plankton and other microscopic sea creatures which are free-floating in seawater.

Generally speaking, the adaptive process involves the use of a cost function, which is a criterion for optimum performance of the filter, to feed an algorithm, which determines how to modify filter transfer function to minimize the cost on the next iteration.

The Protobranchs feed in a different way, scraping detritus from the seabed, and this may be the original mode of feeding used by all bivalves before the gills became adapted for filter feeding.

Combined with a linearly polarized feed horn, it helps filter out noise in the receiver and reduces false returns.

Typically, the user is expected to " feed " example spam mails and example " ham " ( useful ) mails to the filter, which can then learn the difference between the two.

Although whale sharks have very large mouths, as filter feeders they feed mainly, though not exclusively, on plankton, which are microscopic plants and animals.

The ducks also will dabble and filter feed along lake shallows, shore, and in upland vegetation for macroinvertebrates, algae, leaves, and seeds.

It has ciliated bands along the body and uses these to swim and filter feed on microscopic particles, particularly unicellular green flagellates ( phytoplankton ).

The high efficiency of this method allows larvaceans to feed on much smaller nanoplankton than most other filter feeders.

The modifications were headed up Prominent modifications were a switch from a billet steel crank to cast iron ( with a crank damper ), different con-rods, oil filter relocation to the other side of the engine, and to remove the oil feed from the exhaust side of the cylinder head.

# Oil return line in block for injection pump, feed line in oil filter head

Tii's also have an extra fitting on the intake side of the engine block for an injection pump oil return line as well as an extra fitting on the oil filter head for the injection pump oil feed line.

Squat lobsters feed on a variety of foods, with some species filter feeding, while others are detritus-feeders, algal grazers, scavengers or predators.

Larger feed particles (> 100 micrometres ) will tend to block the pores of the bed and turn it into a surface filter that blinds rapidly.

Larger sand grains can be used to overcome this problem, but if significant amounts of large solids are in the feed they need to be removed upstream of the sand bed filter by a process such as settling.

Apart from barnacles, which use their legs for filter feeding, most maxillopodans feed with their maxillae.
