Shipworm anatomy reveals the typical organs of a bivalve mollusk, although with dimensional or positional peculiarities due to the thinness and length of the occupied space. Furthermore, some structures find no equivalent in other bivalve groups. Gills are divided in two halves, the anterior one of small size, the posterior one much more developed.
Teredo navalis, commonly called the naval shipworm or turu, [2] is a species of saltwater clam, a marine bivalve mollusc in the family Teredinidae. This species is the type species of the genus Teredo .
