Wikipedia

Siphon (mollusc)

A siphon is an anatomical structure which is part of the body of aquatic molluscs in three classes: Gastropoda, Bivalvia and Cephalopoda (members of these classes include saltwater and freshwater snails, clams, octopus, squid and relatives).

Siphons in molluscs are tube-like structures in which water (or, more rarely, air) flows. The water flow is used for one or more purposes such as locomotion, feeding, respiration, and reproduction. The siphon is part of the mantle of the mollusc, and the water flow is directed to (or from) the mantle cavity.

A single siphon occurs in some gastropods. In those bivalves which have siphons, the siphons are paired. In cephalopods, there is a single siphon or funnel which is known as a hyponome.

Examples of use of mollusks
1. Pearls are found in the body of certain bivalve mollusks.
2. The shellfish sales bankrolled the company‘s abalone operation as the mollusks reached marketable size, Steinke said.
3. Even so, because the freshwater mollusks multiply rapidly _ with a single female laying as many as 1 million eggs _ it is unlikely doing so will rid the state of the hardy mollusks.
4. A team of paleontologists studied a large group of marine animals _ oysters, clams, scallops and other bivalve mollusks.
5. Even so, because the freshwater mollusks multiply rapidly – with a single female laying as many as 1 million eggs – it is unlikely doing so will rid the state of the hardy mollusks. They‘re extremely difficult to eradicate,‘‘ Muir said. It‘s more a matter of trying to control them.‘‘ The mussels likely hitched a ride on a boat from the Great Lakes.
