Keywords:
Unionidae (Anodonta, Unio), THERMAL TOLERANCE, HEATED WATER
Abstract
Thermal tolerance of Anodonta and Unio was studied under experimental conditions. Most tolerant to a gradual and stepwise temperature increase to 35oC were Chinese Anodonta, very numerous in Konińskie lakes, and among them - individuals up to 5 cm. Critical water temperature, at a gradual daily increase, was 31oC.
