Salinity tolerances of unionoid mussels were examined in experimental tanks, and their habitats were investigated in a brackish lake. In an experimental study involving adults of three mussel species, Margaritifera sp., Lanceolaria oxyrhyncha and Nodularia douglasiae, water salinity was gradually in...
