• 17. Male mussels release sperm into the water.
  Female mussels take the
• sperm into their gill chambers where
  fertilization occurs. Young mussel
• larvae are released into the water where they
  float freely until they attach
• to the gill of a host fish. After the juvenile
  drops off the fish gill, it
• burrows into the river bed and begins the life
  cycle all over again.
• The parasitic behavior of the larvae benefits the
  mussel in two ways. One
• benefit is that the fish provides nutrition for
  the larvae when they are
• attached to its gill.
• What is the second way this behavior enhances the
  survival of the mussel
• species?
• The large size of the fish provides the mussel
  larvae with plenty of
• room to grow.
• The parasitism increases the opportunity for the
  mussels to mate with
• other mussel species.

  areas they would
• otherwise be unable to reach.
• D. The location of the larvae on the gills of
  fish reduces the exposure of
• the larvae to oxygen-rich water.

36

1. The mobility of the fish spreads the mussels to
   areas they would otherwise be unable to reach.
