The morphology of glochidia of the freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera L. and the development of the cyst for 50 days after glochidial infection of wild and hatchery-reared Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) parr were studied using scanning electron microscopy. The microvillar surface...
