''Hiatella arctica'', known as the wrinkled rock-borer, the arctic hiatella or the arctic saxicave, is a species of saltwater clam, a marine bivalve mollusc in the family Hiatellidae. The white shell of this mollusc is thick and more or less rectangular, but generally irregular in shape. It is up to 45 mm long. ''Hiatella arctica'' is widespread and found in all the oceans, ranging from the Arctic and Antarctic to the subtropical and tropical zones. It occurs from the low water mark to depths of down to 800 m. It lives on hard substrates, often attached with byssus, for instance in mussel beds or nestling among kelp holdfasts, or hiding in rock crevices and also boring itself into soft rocks. ==References== * (''Hiatella arctica'' ) Marlin * (''Hiatella arcitca'' - Arctic hiatella ) sealifebase.org (Nov. 2015) * Mollusca of the North Sea: (''Hiatella arctica'' ) Marine Species Identification Portal (Nov. 2015) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hiatella arctica」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
