Brachiopods are filter feeders with shells connected by a valve. Unlike bivalves whose shells are identical (top and bottom), brachiopods have a line of symmetry down the valve. Brachiopods are either sessile, lying on the seafloor or partially buried.The phylum Brachiopoda, or lamp-shells, consists of roughly 400 living and more than 12,000 fossil species of benthic, marine organisms. Both living and extinct brachiopods can be easily distinguished by their two valves, usually called dorsal and ventral. Molecular studies almost unanimously show Brachiopoda as a monophyletic group. restore Hatschek's original rank of phylum for the group, with the brachiopods, bryozoans and phoronids consequently reduced in hierarchical status to classes (Emig 1984). More recently, Conway Morris & Peel (1995, pp. 343-344) concluded that brachiopods evolved from extinct protostomes, the early Cambrian articulated halkieriids.Animals: Phylum Brachiopoda; Ziser Lecture Notes, 2011 5 Reproduction and Development almost all are dioecious produce temporary gonads gametes discharged through nephridia most fertilization is external only a few species brood their eggs direct development in some, free-swimming larvae in other species eg.

On the other hand, bivalve belongs to phylum Mollusca and has a shell with equal two valves. Furthermore, brachiopods live only in marine habitats while bivalves live in both marine and freshwater environments.Although only minor members in present-day marine communities, brachiopods have an extensive fossil record, exhibiting morphological diversity and geological continuity that reflect their dominance in the marine benthos throughout the Palaeozoic era. Recent molecular studies suggest that the Phoronida should be assigned to the phylum Brachiopoda as a shell-less subphylum or class (Cohen 2000 ...The Brachiopoda phylum is compared to the Bivalvia class.
