Impact Description | Positive impacts of Limnoperna fortunei are not limited to fishes that directly consume golden mussels, but there are also indirect positive effects on ichthyophagous and detritivorous fish species. Fish larvae, e.g. Salminus maxillosus, Rhaphiodon vulpinus, Pseudoplatystoma coruscans, Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum, and metalarvae of other Pimelodidae that prey on other larval fish probably benefit from the mussel-enhanced growth rates of their prey. |
