| Summary: | mussel populate the rivers of Western and Eastern Europe, as well as eastern North America [27, 63]. In contrast to Atlantic salmon, whose natural habitat extends to the Ural Mountains [37], pearl mussel is not encountered in the northeast part of the Kola Pen insula [64] or east of the Solza River [5]. The lifecycle of both species is complex. Atlantic salmon are born in rivers, where they spend several years. After this, the majority of individ uals migrate to the sea or large lakes to grow.
