Abstract
Solen strictus Gould are mainly cave dwellers, using their axe feet to dig caves. The Solen strictus Gould also exhibit escape-swimming behavior when food, environment, and so on changes. In this paper, Solen strictus Gould were captured on a high-speed camera as they escaped, and it was found that the Solen strictus Gould whipped while the water spout between the axe foot and the mantle sprayed water outwards. The combined propulsion of these two methods allows the Solen strictus Gould to advance rapidly in a short time. It is calculated that the swimming speed of razor clams is positively correlated with their size and that the adult Solen strictus Gould can travel up to 12 times their body length per second. This study enriches the data on the behavioral characteristics of Solen strictus Gould and is of interest regarding Solen strictus Gould in artificial farming, marine fishing, offshore ecological restoration, and underwater bionic robot development.
