| The shipworms are marine bivalve molluscs in the family Teredinidae: a group of saltwater clams with long, soft, naked bodies. They are notorious for boring into (and commonly eventually destroying) wood that is immersed in sea water, including such structures as wooden piers, docks and ships; they drill passages by means of a pair of very small shells borne at one end, with which they rasp their way through. Sometimes called "termites of the sea", they also are known as "Teredo worms" or simply Teredo, from the Greek teredn, via Latin. Eventually biologists adopted the common name Teredo as the name for the best-known genus. On April 17, 2017, it was reported that live giant tube shipworms Kuphus polythamia had been discovered in the Philippines. |
