Freshwater mussels are COOL, and we’re here to tell you all about them! ✨ These “living rocks” are actually closely related to clams and oysters. They improve the health of waterways by acting as natural water filters, and they provide food and shelter for other animals. 🌊 Join us next week to learn about their clever life cycle and how they hitchhike to reach new locations. 👀 #tennesseeaquarium #chattanooga #freshwater #mussels #cool #rivers #waterfilter #education #aquarist #exhibit | Tennes

Freshwater mussels are some of the planet's most underrated animals — and have some of the planet's most intriguing names, including fuzzy pigtoe, spectaclecase, fluted elephantear and orangefoot pimpleback. They play an important role in rivers, improving water quality by filtering out bacteria, algae and pollutants. Mussels are long-lived, surviving as long as 100 years. But like most of our clients, they're also incredibly endangered. Water pollution has wreaked havoc on these clean-water-lov

30 of the 43 native freshwater mussels in the state of Michigan are considered at risk for extinction. A pair of U-M biologists recently completed fieldwork along the Huron River and the River Raisin that studied the mussels’ remarkable reproductive cycle.

Freshwater mussels keep our rivers clean because they filter the water as they breathe and eat. Mussels, however, are dying. Scientists hope to discover what’s killing them and how to save them through a three-year study of 100 rivers in the Southeast, 10 of which are in NC. Learn more with #SciNC!

🏆 And the award for weirdest reproductive strategy goes to… Freshwater mussels in the genus Lampsilis begin life as parasites. To survive, their larvae must spend weeks attached to the gills of a fish. So how do they get there? Through an evolutionary trick called aggressive mimicry. The adult mussel’s brood pouch—packed with larvae—has evolved to look like a small prey fish. When a hungry predator strikes, the mussel ejects its larvae straight into the fish’s mouth.

How do mussels attach themselves onto surfaces? They’ve got some super strong hair-like structures that hold their bodies in place called byssal threads! With the tides and waves, these hairs help bivalves stay attached to their selected surface. #marinebiology #lowtide #naturalist #tidepooling #bivalves #pacificnorthwest #intertidal #mussels #salishsea | The Nature Educator

Can you spot the mussel? 🥸 The Plain Pocketbook mussel tricks fish by disguising part of its shell as a lure that looks like a small fish or other prey. When a fish tries to bite the lure, the mussel releases tiny baby mussels that attach harmlessly to the fish’s gills or fins. They stay there until they grow big enough and then drop off. These freshwater mussels have all kinds of lures, from fish-shaped to wormy, and even crawfish-like. 📸Calvin Rezac | Mississippi Museum of Natural Science
