Dosinia [Dosinia]

Description

Dosinia is a genus of bivalve molluscs within the family Dosinidae. These clams are characterized by their rounded, somewhat flattened shells which are often heavily ribbed or sculptured. The genus is distributed across various marine environments, from sandy to muddy substrates, often buried beneath the surface. Dosinia species are filter feeders, extracting plankton and organic particles from the water.
