หอยแมงภู่ — a type of green mussel

Postby biacowry » Mon Jan 16, 2012 6:15 pm

Does anyone know the Latin scientific name for this species of mussel?

In English, we call the parts to be cut off with scissors "the beard" in everyday speech, and the technical term is "byssus". What is the general Thai term?
