Notes | Overview of freshwater mussels in Oregon, including the introduced Corbicula. Native freshwater mussel larvae can attach to the gills or fins of fish and become parasitic, causing the fish to be undernourished. "Serious infections of wild fish in the Siletz River were reported by Duane Karna . . . in 1973." |
