Abstract
The growth and morphogenesis of glochidia of the freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera on the gills of the Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in the Syuskyuyanyoki River (Karelia) are studied. Comparative analysis of histological features of glochidia depending on the age of the cyst is made, and the results of studies of the relationship and the influence of seasonal changes in water temperature on growth and morphogenesis of glochidia, which is essential for adaptation of living organisms and ensuring the sustainability of the participants of the parasite–host relationship, are presented.
