Abstract

Seasonal flow patterns of the glochidia of the freshwater unionid mussel Inversiunio jokohamensis were investigated using a plankton net (5 × 20 cm frame, 0.113 mm mesh) in a paddy field ditch. Living glochidia were collected from February to May, being most abundant in February. Dead glochidium shells were collected from February to October, being most abundant in May. A few non-mature eggs were collected in March and May. Our study shows that a plankton net is useful to investigate the flow patterns and spawning seasons of the glochidia of I. jokohamensis.
