Abstract
⺠A non-destructive photo-method investigated encystment of a unionid mussel on its host fish. ⺠The method reliably estimated encystment without injuring mussels or host fish. ⺠When applied to individual streams, mean encystment intensity was estimated for YOY and older fish. ⺠The photo-method may be used for other unionid mussel species. ⺠It may now be possible to investigate every life stage of unionids without using harmful methods.
