Titolo: Shellfish: come lo tradurreste?

Scusate il disturbo. Mi sto cimentando nella traduzione dall'inglese di
un libro di ricette. Vorrei tradurre "shellfish" in maniera corretta,
ma senza ricorrere a due vocaboli (molluschi e crostacei). Temo che in
italiano non vi sia un equivalente con un solo termine. Non è solo un
problema di stile, ma anche di impaginazione.
Grazie in anticipo per il vostro aiuto.

They're all bottom-feeders, aren't they?   :>)

But seriously: I don't think there is a single word in Italian which
would encompass the categories of shrimp, clams, mussels, abalone,
lobsters, crabs, etc., as does the English word "shellfish".
Also, how would you say "bottom-feeder" in Italian?

Mi è capitato di vedere [in tabelle di alimenti] "shellfish" contrapposto a 
"finfish", appunto "molluschi e crostacei" rispetto al vero e proprio 
"pesce". Un'unica parola per "molluschi e crostacei" non mi viene in 
mente...
E se lo scrivessi "molluschi & crostacei", per far capire che è un'unica 
categoria:  ?

Penso che si direbbe "spazzino". Mi pare di aver sentito parlare di qualcosa
del tipo "pesce spazzino".
Don't take my word for it.

When you buy fish for your home aquarium, it is always classified as
either a "top-feeder", which normally eats food floating on the
surface of the water, or as a "bottom-feeder", which eats only food
which has sunk to the bottom of the tank. Different types of food are
provided for each type of fish.
Some people refuse to eat shrimp because shrimp are "bottom-feeders"
in the ocean, and it is thought that shrimp feed on sewage and other
foul foods on the ocean floor.
In the US, at least, "Bottom-feeder" has moved out of the marine world
and is used to describe a certain type of person.
<<Main Entry: bot·tom-feed·er
Function: noun
1 : a fish that feeds at the bottom
2 : one that is of the lowest status or rank
3 : an opportunist who seeks quick profit usually at the expense of
others or from their misfortune <<

I guess you would have to translate "shellfish" this way, but even
that is a little off.
The dictionary definition of "shellfish" doesn't include all
categories of mollusks and crustaceans, such as squid and octopus.
Most people probably don't know that these cephalopods are considered
mollusks.
<<shellfish
 . noun an aquatic shelled mollusc or crustacean, especially an edible
one.<<

 lobsters, crabs, etc., as does the English word "shellfish".
Si usa "frutti di mare" per alcuni di essi.

Not a single word but....
Wouldn't "Frutti di mare" be a correct choice?
