TOREDO SHIP WORM
Teredo navalis, the naval shipworm, is a species of saltwater clam, a marine bivalve mollusc
in the family Teredinidae, the shipworms. This species is the type species of the genus
Teredo. Like other species in this family, this bivalve is called a shipworm, because it
resembles a worm in general appearance, while at the anterior end it has a small shell with
two valves which are specialised at boring through wood.
This species may have originated in the northeast Atlantic Ocean, but has spread around the
world. It tunnels into underwater piers and pilings and is a major cause of damage and
destruction to submarine timber structures and the hulls of wooden boats.
