picture info	Freshwater Mussel Freshwater bivalves are molluscs of the order Bivalvia that inhabit freshwater ecosystems. They are one of the two main groups of freshwater molluscs, along with freshwater snails. The majority of bivalve molluscs are saltwater species that live in the marine habitats, but a number of families have evolved to live in fresh water (and in some cases, also in brackish water). These belong to two different evolutionary lineages, i.e. freshwater mussels and freshwater clams, and the two groups are not closely related. Freshwater bivalves have a simple morphology that varies among taxa, and are distributed around most regions of the world. Freshwater bivalve species vary greatly in size. Some pea clams (genus '' Pisidium'') have an adult size of only . In contrast, one of the largest species of freshwater bivalves is the swan mussel from the family Unionidae; it can grow to a length of , and usually lives in lakes or slow-flowing rivers.

picture info	Unionida Unionida is a monophyletic order (biology), order of freshwater mussels, aquatic animal, aquatic bivalve molluscs.Bieler R., Carter J.G. & Coan E.V. (2010). ''Classification of Bivalve families''. pp. 113–133, in: Bouchet P. & Rocroi J.-P. (2010), ''Nomenclator of Bivalve Families''. Malacologia 52(2): 1–184. The order includes most of the larger freshwater mussels, including the freshwater pearl mussels. The most common families are the Unionidae and the Margaritiferidae. All have in common a larval stage that is temporarily parasitic on fish, nacreous shells, high in organic matter, that may crack upon drying out, and siphon (mollusc), siphons too short to permit the animal to live deeply buried in sediment. Morphology The shells of these mussels are variable in shape, but usually equivalve and elongate. They have solid, nacreous valves with a pearly interior, radial sculpture, and an entire pallial line. Evolutionary history Although some fossil freshwater bivalves ...
