Abstract:

In preliminary laboratory studies, the endangered mussel Lampsilis higginsi was
unable to burrow into  rocky substrates, but did burrow into substrates comprised of
silt, clay, sand, and/or pebble-gravel. Burrowing  times were shortest in silt and
longest in pebble-gravel. As judged by longevity of glochidial infection, walleye 
(Stizostedion vitreum) and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) may be
suitable hosts for the parasitic  stage. When glochidia were placed in water without
host fish, half had died after 48 hours, and all had died after  72 hours. (DBO).
