If they bred and sold native freshwater mussels and clams for people who keep ponds (within their native range), I’m sure the pond industry would support such a good cause. It may even raise awareness so people learn how important these guys are in their native habitat and their ponds.
It's pretty cool how they clean the water, but it's a relatively slow process. Nothing too drastic, but noticeable. I was actually stunned to see how they attract fish for their reproduction. That was absolutely shocking to me. I'm actually really happy to see that people are interested in ecology all around the world. It's really cool. That background music was awesome too.
The fact zebra mussels arnt hunted down by people to bolth help get rid of them and use there shells. Like there shells can be used to feed corls or help make concrete it can be pressed into rock for corls to grow on in tanks or in the ocean.
The small six acre lake I live on has green water most of the time. Can I gather clams or mussels from a river nearby and move them into the lake or do they need to be in rivers?
I would love to have these in my creek I want to develop it to be Able to foster more minnows crawfish it already has them but I'm sure if I help it somehow it can produce more abundance
I'm totally all about them in baskets below weird and overflow structures and stuff like that all down canals and spillways. And. I'm sure as a slow moving remediation system would help degunk lake bottoms , boil up the bottom with air bubbles in a venturing up and back to other contained feeder animals.. 1mesh etc like a reverse gold classifier not sure how tight they can be packed and such though. Baskets around pond airations intakes etc.
I own ponds in WV I have 4 ponds 1 is filled with mussels 1 has recently started showing signs and 2 I haven't seen many. The one that has a established population is much clearer with less evasive grasses than the others.
Hii sir, Can u plz tell me the best temperature for the baby mussels to survival in the earlier days.. And adult mussels breeding temperature and salinity for the breeding in water... And best temperature for the adult to survive..

That’s a very smart idea. For example, I’m sure those YTers who create ponds and add fishes would also purchase mussels.
I was just about to ask them if I can buy some of all species for My pond. 😂
This was so interesting. I'm embarking on a full blown rabbit hole on freshwater mussels filtering water sources.

I am adding you guys to my recommendation list of must watch... Climate focused education...

I'm in Virginia how do I get some for my aquarium
Those mussels are fascinating...not as fascinating as THESE MUSCLES💪
soo cool!
I want to be able to raise these for human consumption
Not poor quality water but natural orgánic material on the water...
