Why are clams only found in fresh water?
Clams are not exclusively found in freshwater; they can also inhabit saltwater environments. However, certain species, known as freshwater clams, thrive in rivers, lakes, and ponds due to their specific adaptations for lower salinity levels. Factors like water temperature, oxygen content, and availability of food sources influence their distribution. Thus, while some clams are found in freshwater, many others live in marine ecosystems as well.

Were do clams come from?
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.
