Common name. Duck mussel.
Morphology. Large bivalve. The dorsal margin of shell is strongly divergent from the mid axis, the ventral margin is rounded. Dimensions are up to 150 mm in length, 60 mm in height, and 35 mm in depth. For more details see Welter-Schultes (2012: 8, figure in the middle of the page).
Distribution and ecology. Palearctic species preferring a muddy substrate in flowing waters, but it could be found in lakes, reservoirs and ponds (Lopes-Lima 2014). They could be found up to 1800 m.a.s.l., higher than any other freshwater mussel. Quite common in Serbia, it has been found along almost the entire course of the Danube. It is also detected on Sava, Tisza and Velika Morava Rivers, as well as in Nišava and Temštica Rivers (Simić et al. 2006)
Other remarks. It has known 406 nominal species as synonyms (Graf & Cummings 2021). On the IUCN Red List it has been assessed as LC (Killeen & Vavrova 2011).
