Discussion

  • Glochidium is here not assumed to extract nutrients from the host fish

Facts

  • The European bitterling Rhodeus amarus fully depends on Anadonta to deposit its eggs inside the shell, while Anadonta clings its glochidia larvae (glochidia) to it and to metamorphose (Ref: Wiki_nl)
  • Facultative hermaphroditic (Ref: Aldr1999)
