Mollusks of the Amu-Bukhara channel

We found that 7 species and 1 subspecies and 1 variety of mollusks are common in the old channel of the river Zerafshan, where the Amu-Bukhara canal currently flows. Mollusks are divided into 3 ecological groups depending on habitat conditions: pelorheophils ( Corbicula fluminalis , C. purpurea , C. (Corbicula) tibetensis , C. (Corbicula) ferghanensis , Cyrena (Corbicula) cor , Sinanodonta gibba , S. puerorum ), rheophils ( Anodonta (Colletopterum) cyrea subsp. sogdiana ) and pelolimnophils ( A. piscinalis var. volgensis ).
