KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
A heavy otter predation on the swan mussel was recorded in early spring in a fish-pond in SW. Poland. Although natural predation was not regarded as a threat to the swan mussel in Poland, it is likely that in areas where the otter (and possibly also mink, raccoon and muskrat) is common the mussel's populations may suffer heavy losses.
