Dale Hollow mussels 2022

There are pale dusky yellow mussels attached together in clumps with bits of gravel by stringy byssal thread. The mussels are suspended by one hand while another is poised ready to catch any that may detach. There is an industrial looking room with wire cages and wood planking in the background. The scientist holding the mussels has a tan shirt with badges on each shoulder
