''Bathymodiolus thermophilus'' is a species of large, deep water mussel, a marine bivalve mollusc in the family Mytilidae, the true mussels. The species was discovered at abyssal depths when submersible vehicles such as DSV Alvin began exploring the deep ocean. It occurs on the sea bed, often in great numbers, close to hydrothermal vents where hot, sulphur-rich water wells up through the floor of the Pacific Ocean. ==Description== ''Bathymodiolus thermophilus'' is a very large mussel with a dark brown periostracum, growing to a length of about . It is attached to rocks on the seabed by byssus threads but it is able to detach itself and move to a different location. It is sometimes very abundant, having been recorded at densities of up to 300 individuals per square metre (270 per square yard).〔(Hydrothermal vents ) Deep Ocean. Retrieved 2012-04-15.〕
