North Carolina Mussel Atlas <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />from large boulders. in relatively fast flowing,. medium sized rivers and <br />medium to large creeks.. <br />Life History <br />This species is considered to be bradytictic (~rtmann 1919, <br />Alderman 1988). The alewife or another migratory fish has been <br />suggested as the host fish fot the yellow lampmussel (Johnson <br />1947). This may be true for some populations of this mussel species, <br />but there must also be freshwater host(s), since this species can be <br />found in isolated creeks and rivers in North Carolina. <br />Retum.to Top of Page <br />Retu.rn_to Species List <br />Return. to Mussel Atlas home~page <br />I~ttp://www.newildlife.org/pg07 wildlifespeciescoi~/pg7blal_15.htm 1/6/2009 <br />C <br />C <br />~~ <br />(. <br />C. <br />~. <br />i <br />(_ <br />~. <br />C <br />
