Abstract
The location of the style sac and morphology of the crystalline style were described morphologically in three bivalve species (Tegillarca granosa, Mytilus galloprovincialis and Saxidomus purpuratus) which inhabited in different area. The style sac of them was connected to the posterior stomach. There was the crystalline style in the style sac. The crystalline style of three species was long circular cone of translucent gelatin form, which was hard and elastic. There was a red-yellow and spiral filament inside the crystalline style of Tegillarca granosa and Mytilus galloprovincialis. A white and long tube was located from basal portion to the end of crystalline style in Saxidomus purpuratus. RLC (relative length of crystalline style) of Tegillarca granosa, Mytilus galloprovincialis and Saxidomus purpuratus was 47.69, 48.97, 64.20% and RWC (relative weight of crystalline style) was 0.54, 0.54, 0.39%, respectively.
