Potomida littoralis is a species of bivalve belonging to the family Unionidae. [2] [3]
The species is found in Europe, Mediterranean and Southern Asia. [2] It occurs in Africa between Tunisia and Morocco. [1] It is not recorded between Italy and Albania. [1]
In the Iberian Peninsula, gravid females are observed from March through October, with hatching occurring in September. [1]
According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, this species is endangered and in decline. [1] Water extraction is harming populations in Portugal, Syria, Lebanon and Israel. [1] Canalization of river channels, water pollution and dam construction are also threats. [1] The distribution of P. littoralis in the Iberian peninsula and in France is highly fragmented. [1]
