Sea silk is an extremely fine, rare, and valuable fabric that is made from the long silky filaments or byssus secreted by a gland in the foot of pen shells (in particular Pinna nobilis). The byssus is used by the clam to attach itself to the sea bed. The cloth produced from these filaments can be woven even more finely than silk, and is extremely light and warm; it was said that a pair of women's gloves made from the fabric could fit into half a walnut shell and a pair of stockings in a snuffbox. The cloth attracts clothes moths, the larvae of which will eat it.

  • Sutra laut adalah kain yang sangat langka dan berharga yang terbuat dari filamen yang dihasilkan oleh kerang Pinna nobilis. Filamen tersebut dipakai oleh kerang untuk menempel di dasar laut. Sutra laut diproduksi di wilayah Laut Tengah hingga awal abad ke-20. Kerang ini (yang panjangnya kadang mencapai satu meter) hidup di mintakat pasang surut. (in)
  • Виссо́н — тончайшая ткань, белая, реже золотистая. Драгоценная ткань древности, употреблявшаяся для одежды первосвященников, царей, фараонов, центурионов и патрициев, в неё заворачивали мумии фараонов. Неоднократно упоминается в исторических источниках, в Священном Писании. Египтяне, иудеи, римляне, византийцы носили виссон: такая популярность объяснялась высочайшим качеством этой материи, её легкостью, тонкотканностью и прочностью. К примеру, пару перчаток из виссона можно сложить в скорлупу грецкого ореха. (ru)
  • La seda de mar es un tejido extremadamente fino, raro y valioso fabricado con los largos y sedosos filamentos de biso secretados por una glándula en los pies de moluscos bivalvos (en especial del Pinna nobilis). El biso es utilizado por el animal para sujetarse al suelo marino.​ La seda de mar se producía en la región del Mediterráneo de los grandes moluscos marinos bivalvos Pinna nobilis hasta principios del siglo XX. La concha, que en algunas ocasiones llega a medir hasta un metro de largo, se adhiere a las rocas de la zona intermareal con un mechón de fibras delgadas muy fuertes. (es)
