The animated character ’Maggie’ tells the freshwater pearl mussel’s (FPM) and LIFE Revives project’s story on a new video.

Researchers of the LIFE Revives project at the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ have found that the larvae of freshwater pearl mussel survive best in the original salmon fish population of their home river.

Researchers from the LIFE Revives project found brown trout better survived a Flavobacterium disease outbreak if the fish had larvae of freshwater pearl mussel in their gills.

In a new LIFE project funded by the European Commission, the condition and habitats of freshwater pearl mussel (FPM) populations and their host fishes, Atlantic salmon and brown trout, will be improved in Finland, Sweden and Estonia.

Epigenetic changes are one of the less studied mechanisms via which organisms adapt to environmental changes.
