The phylum Mollusca comprise about 100 000 different species, including several important seafood groups such as mussels, oysters, abalone, snails, clams, octopus, and scallops and squids. (1) The phylum is typically divided into nine or ten taxonomic classes, of which two are entirely extinct. The most important divisions of the phylum Mollusca are the classes Bivalvia (bivalves such as clams, mussels, oysters, and scallops), Cephalopoda (cephalopods such as cuttlefish, octopus and squid) and Gastropoda (gastropods such as abalone, limpets, snails, winkles and whelks). Members of other classes of molluscs such as chitons are also sometimes eaten. Marine molluscs and crustacea (shrimps, prawns, crabs, crayfish and lobsters) are both known as shellfish. (‘Mollusk’ is the American spelling and ‘mollusc’ the British spelling).
