Elimia livescens, common name the liver elimia, is a species of freshwater snail with an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Pleuroceridae.
The height of the shell of this species can be as large as 20 mm. [2]
Elimia livescens is native to the United States. It occurs in the Saint Lawrence River drainage from Great Lake to Lake Champlain; in tributaries of the Ohio River east of the Scioto River in Ohio; and in the Wabash River, west to the Illinois River. [2]
The nonindigenous distribution of Elimia livescens includes the lower Hudson River drainage. [2] It migrated to the Hudson River via the Erie Canal. [2] The impact of this introduction is unknown. [2]
This snail is found in freshwater rivers and streams, on rock shoals and gravel bars. [2]
The sexes are separate. [2] Eggs are usually laid in the spring. [2] The snails often reach sexual maturity in a year, and can live for 5 years. [2]
Parasites of Elimia livescens include trematode Aspidogaster conchicola . [3]
