Lampsilis siliquoidea, also known as the fatmucket, [1] is a species of freshwater bivalve in the family Unionidae.
Lampsilis siliquoidea is recognized by its brown shell with dark rays, and is usually about 70 millimetres (2.8 in) to 100 millimetres (3.9 in) in size. The shape of the shell is oblong to elliptical, compressed or inflated, with uniform thickness. Fatmucket clams are filter feeders. They feed on algae, phytoplankton, protozoans and organic particles. In the parasitic glochidial stage they feed on blood from hosts species, which include bass, perch, walleye, and sturgeon.
