I believe they are brought in by birds. The birds may have the clam larve on their feet and they fly to different ponds where they come off.
Some examples of animals that live in lakes and ponds are fish, frogs, freshwater clams among many other animals.
That depends on the species, as there are freshwater clams.
The vorticella live in freshwater ponds because freshwater ponds provide enough bacteria for them to live on
No.
No, consumers.
False. Ponds do not form where freshwater and saltwater meet. They are usually man-made.
you should eat freshwater clams/oysters
You tell me.
In freshwater ponds.
Freshwater clams are filter feeders, so tiny foods like daphnia and rotifers and cyclops work well.
Like all clams, they have evolved into a specialized environment over time. Clams began as marine mollusks, but some of them developed the ability to survive in freshwater places where rivers empty into the sea. Those that were able to move further up the river had less predation and survived again. This goes on until freshwater clams are fully a part of the ecosystem and fit in with freshwater predators and freshwater mollusk diseases and have life-cycles and reproduction that matches the advantages of the environment.
