The characteristics of the infection of juvenile Atlantic salmon with glochidia of the freshwater pearl mussel in rivers of Northwest Russia
The decline of freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera L.) populations is globally well documented, but there is a lack of knowledge concerning the status of the species and its interaction with host fishes in the rivers of the White and Baltic Seas. This study aimed to identify the hos...

The decline of freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera L.) populations is globally well documented, but there is a lack of knowledge concerning the status of the species and its interaction with host fishes in the rivers of the White and Baltic Seas.

Juvenile sea-migrating and land-locked Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) were identified as the most important hosts. In the Keret’ River, reduced numbers of juvenile Atlantic salmon are likely to result in a decline of pearl mussel. This problem does not appear to be present for the other three studied rivers. Pearl mussel glochidia were mostly found in yearlings (0+), whereas older fish were infected less, suggesting a more complex pattern of host use than commonly expected.
