Oysters vs Clams
1. Oysters are found in brackish and marine habitats. Clams are usually found in freshwaters.
2. Clams remain motile for their entire lives while oysters are motile only for the first few weeks of their lives.
3. The foot of the oysters disappears after they become attached to a safe place for the rest of the life. The clam's foot is used life long and functions like an anchor while the body is dragged along
4. Pearl Oysters produce pearls of commercial value and clams do not produce any pearls.
