Nature is just incredible. Check out this video of a wavy-rayed lampmussel displaying its fish lure. Female mussels use the technique to attract fish onto which they hope to release larvae. When a fish grabs the lure the mussel releases her larvae, which hitch a ride on the fish as a way to transport themselves upstream. © David & Laura Hughes | West Virginia Nature Conservancy

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

It’s #wildlifewednesday, and we’re introducing you to the fascinating reproductive process of the pocketbook mussel (Lampsilis ovata), which includes a short parasitic stage in a fish’s gills. The pocketbook is a mussel species native to the Ohio River basin of the United States and its major tributaries, including the Upper Tennessee River Basin of Southwest Virginia. The species spawns in the fall as stream temperatures decrease and larvae (called glochidia) are brooded by females in gill sacs

2025 HIGHLIGHT: The freshwater mussel team produced about 75,000 yellow lampmussels (Lampsilis cariosa) using just six wild broodstock females. More than 20,000 survived primary and secondary culture and were stocked out on a pond at Joseph Manning to overwinter in baskets. They also successfully cultured Eastern Elliptio (Elliptio complanata) mussels indoors until they were stocked out on the pond in baskets. Out of the about 7,500 individuals that arrived, over 7,300 made it to the pond basket
