Come closer.... a little closer....BOOM! 💥 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. Our native freshwater mussels are the foundation of healthy rivers and streams. They clean waterways, stabilize aquatic ecosystems, and have the coolest life cycle around.

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

What a glo-up ✨ You’re looking at a strand of ‘glochidia’ – the tiny babies of the Glenelg freshwater mussel.

Our goal is to restock and recover them across two new populations using our Conservation Hatchery in partnership with the Arthur Rylah Institute (DEECA) and the Glenelg Hopkins CMA. These glochidia are an exciting sign – marking

This is so cool! This video shows a plain pocketbook mussel in Big Darby Creek, Battelle-Darby Metro Park. The “lure” that this species of mussel uses looks like a fish, and other predator fish investigate and try to eat this lure, with the mussel releasing its glochidia (“baby mussels”) that immediately attach to the fish’s gills. The glochidia act like benign parasites and are then carried elsewhere, eventually detaching from the host fish. That’s how mussels get upstream. Different mussel spe
