Elliptio Crassidens
''Elliptio crassidens'', the elephant-ear, is a species of freshwater mussel, an aquatic bivalve mollusk in Unionidae, the river-mussel family.

It usually is found in the mud, sand, or fine gravel of large rivers. This mussel is found in the midwestern, eastern, and some southern states of the United States as well as the provinces of Quebec and Ontario in Canada. Elephant-ears typically breed once a year. Breeding seasons are short, lasting from either April through May or June to July. Both males and females reach sexual maturity at four to six years. Larvae stay in their mother's gills anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Eventually, the offspring will attach to a host fish's fins or gills. After living parasitically on the host fish for several weeks, juvenile clams break free and fall to bottom ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
