抄録

<jats:p>Direct measurements of shell growth of an unclassified mussel from active hydrothermal vents along the Galápagos Rift reveal growth rates of approximately 1 centimeter per year for mature specimens. The largest mussel collected (with shell length of 18.4 centimeters) was estimated to be 19 ± 7 years old at the time of sampling. Recorded growth rates are among the highest documented for deep-sea species.</jats:p>
