Amazing to see freshwater pearl mussel larvae ('glochidia') at development 'Stage 4' today. You can see them snapping shut within their membrane - won't be long until they are released from the adult mussel to 'clamp' on to the gills of young salmon and trout (where they will spend the next winter before dropping off) :) | Ness District Salmon Fishery Board

Gotcha! Did you know freshwater mussels shoot their fertilized eggs (glochidia) at passing fish? The glochidia hitch a ride on the host fish's gills for several weeks before dropping to the stream bed to start their new life. Freshwater mussels are the foundation of healthy rivers and streams. They clean waterways, stabilize aquatic ecosystems, and have the coolest life cycle around. 📽️: Video shows a largemouth bass attack a mussel lure. The mussel shoots a cloudy substance at the fish's face.

Did you know the Glenelg Freshwater Mussel is critically endangered? Our Snobs Creek conservation hatchery team is working hard to change that by developing ways to breed and release them back into the wild Recently, larvae were collected from brood stock and tested for viability. How? By adding salt water to the sample dish, healthy larvae respond by closing up! At just 0.3mm in size, they’re only visible under a microscope and handled with a micro-pipette. From there, it will take 5-6 years fo

This is a video clip of a Lampsilis mussel in the Conasauga River in northwest Georgia. She is displaying in order to attract a fish to come and snap at this lure, whereupon the parasitic mussel larvae, Glochidia, will attach to the skin and gills of the unsuspecting host fish! It is an amazing bit of trickery and affords a means of dispersal for this otherwise sedentary animal! After a while, the larval mussels drop off and begin a life of living in the substrate. This one was so noticeable tha
