Of course. They have sense enough to stay in their shell.

<>Actually, this is not as easy as I thought it would be.  Here're a couple sites to look at.  I'll see if I can find more.\nPS: I guess it would be easier if you were to specify a particular bivalve.  There is a variety of articles on different ones here:\nhttp://www.student.loretto.org/zoology/Bivalve.html\nhttp://cars.er.usgs.gov/Region_5_Report/html/bivalves.html\nhttp://www.esg.montana.edu/dlg/aim/mollusca/bivalve.html\nhttp://www.chesapeakebay.net/info/hard_clam.cfm\nhttp://www.aquaticinvaders.org/nan_browse.cfm?level=4&key=030201000000\nhttp://www.aquaticinvaders.org/nan_browse.cfm?level=4&key=030201000000

I have synesthesia. There are many different kinds but mines tends to run to smells. I smell colours. For instance rain smells a very light shade of green but can smell completely different if heavy or light or the list goes on. Days of the week and different seasons have particular smells as do certain memories. I thought everyone had it when i was a kid. But its actually pretty cool and it makes life interesting especially when you tell someone their new hairstyle smells sea aqua blue!

Take live snails to the mall, blindfold passersby, and feed them snails.  Hypothesis, snails taste gross. Prove or disprove. Discuss.  Alternate hypothesis, life gives life.  If snails ate humans, then humans would kill snails.  Since they don't eat humans, there is no good rational for killing them.  Unless you have too much salt and are bored :)

i like their ink sacs!  and if you dissect one, they have a special pen (remnants of the shell in molluscs) that you can write with!  so fun!  \n\nps. there are seen in all squids

We did one on zebra mussels when I was in college.  Very easy, just created a tank that had a light source and a darkened area to determine which area they would be more attracted to.  Not sure if you have the resources to complete the resource though.

The tongue has receptors in it, that distinguish different molecules, which the brain interprets and records, and uses for reference later on. In conjunction with the tongue, the nose differentiates smells that coincide with tastes, and are also recorded somewhere in the brain. "Taste" is actually smell and taste, as interpreted and learned by our brain! :)

Put a fish in the water and see if it dies, if it doesnt then there is oxygen in the water. If it does then shame you have to buy another fish!!!

Sight - Ocean, Mountains, Beaches\nSound - Water, Wind, nothing around but nature\nSmell - baked goods, a good smelling body, spring flowers\nTaste - all kinds of food, that good "making out after-taste"\nTouch - oh yes the body of a female, soft animals, water\n\nOf course you can add Ang_172 to all of the above hmmm.

(m)\n\nSeventy to seventy-five percent of what we perceive as taste actually comes from our sense of smell. Taste buds allow us to perceive only bitter, salty, sweet, and sour flavors. It's the odor molecules from food that give us most of our taste sensation. \n\nWhen you put food in your mouth, odor molecules from that food travel through the passage between your nose and mouth to olfactory receptor cells at the top of your nasal cavity, just beneath the brain and behind the bridge of the nose. If mucus in your nasal passages becomes too thick, air and odor molecules can't reach your olfactory receptor cells. Thus, your brain receives no signal identifying the odor, and everything you eat tastes much the same. You can feel the texture and temperature of the food, but no messengers can tell your brain, "This cool, milky substance is chocolate ice cream." The odor molecules remain trapped in your mouth. The pathway has been blocked off to those powerful perceivers of smell--the olfactory bulbs. \n\nOf all our senses, smell is our most primal. Animals need the sense of smell to survive. Although a blind rat might survive, a rat without its sense of smell can't mate or find food. For humans, the sense of smell communicates many of the pleasures in life--the aroma of a pot roast in the oven, fresh-cut hay, a rose garden. Smells can also signal danger, fear, or dread. \n\nAlthough our sense of smell is our most primal, it is also very complex. To identify the smell of a rose, the brain analyzes over 300 odor molecules. The average person can discriminate between 4,000 to 10,000 different odor molecules. Much is unknown about exactly how we detect and discriminate between various odors. But researchers have discovered that an odor can only be detected in liquid form. We breathe in airborne molecules that travel to and combine with receptors in nasal cells. The cilia, hairlike receptors that extend from cells inside the nose, are covered with a thin, clear mucus that dissolves odor molecules not already in vapor form. When the mucus becomes too thick, it can no longer dissolve the molecules. \n\nAnimals depend on odors secreted from their bodies to communicate. For humans, odors communicate a variety of messages, depending on the odor and the person receiving it. The aroma of a baking apple pie sends one message when someone is hungry and quite another when that person has just finished a six-course meal!

Wonderfully fresh, barbecued salmon, from California.\n\nFollowed closely by Fresh Tuna, in Gran Canaria, Spain.  That was the 1st time I ever had fish that didn't smell fishy...if that makes sense.

OK, I like this question. :-) Bear with me, what I'm about to share has a point to it all ... You walk through an element all the time. The element I speak of is air. Its so fine in its molecular construction that you don't even realize its there. You can walk through water, but with greater difficulty, beause of its density. You can't walk through a brick wall, because its molecular make-up is to dense. Now, a dog perks up its ears. It hears a sound. But you can't hear that same sound. Owls can see well in the dark, but you can't. A deer sniffs the air because it smells the metal rifle the hunter carries, but you can't smell that. There are colours that you can't detect, because of the way your eye is constructed, but that's not to say that the colour isn't there. Now, going from here ... WHAT IF ... Something existed that was of a colour you couldn't see, made sounds that you couldn't hear, gave off a scent that you couldn't smell, and was constructed of a physical substance that you couldn't feel? (Remember, 100 years ago there were only 40+ substances on the Table of Elements, NOW there's well over 100. How many more might there be?) Yes, dragons exist. They just fall into the above catagory. They have intelect similar to humans, and are able to manifest in a way that allows us to know they're there. Which is why they show up historically all around the world and throughtout time. But, given their physical "construction" no paleontological evedince will ever be found to substantiate this. This is my opinion, and its based on experience. ~ Peace & Blessings ~

Crabs... the kind you get down there, are tiny.  Not visible to the eye.  You probably had a bug on you and it scrambled across you nether region.  \n\nIf you had crabs down there you would know it for sure.  You would be itching like a Motherfu**er.
