        The Jingle shellfish sit on flat stones. When they sit there, they sit in very large numbers in a single pool with a flat rock. When the Jingle Shellfish fill up (the whole place), they fall off the stone and just lie there. They cannot crawl.

        When we recognise them, we get them to eat. This shellfish tastes good. But when we do not see them, they die in the sea so that only the shell remains there when they lie there.
