Ces moules du bassin d'Arcachon sont utilisées comme indicateurs biologiques du taux de pollution industrielle ou agricole en milieu aquatique. En effet, la biologie peut, en déterminant et en analysant le mécanisme enzymatique que déclenche l'organisme soumis à une substance toxique, détecter rapidement le polluant.
