The glochidia hitch a ride on the host fish's gills for several weeks before dropping to the stream bed to start their new life.

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

Chris Conroy on Instagram: "The critically endangered Freshwater pearl mussel (FWPM) reproduces by releasing millions of microscopic young (glochidia) into the river in late summer. These glochidia attach (or ‘encyst’) to the gills of young salmon or trout and remain there throughout the winter. They drop off the following spring at the size of a ‘pin head’ and settle in the river bed where they grow to adulthood.
