Alathyria condola, also known as the condolar river mussel, is a species of freshwater bivalve in the family Hyriidae. This species occurs in the Lachlan and Murrumbidgee River systems in eastern New South Wales, Australia.[1] The type specimen was collected from the Murrumbidgee River.[1][2]
The mussel is susceptible to bioaccumulation of hazardous levels of toxins from the cyanobacterium Anabaena circinalis which can lead to paralytic shellfish poisoning when eaten.[3]
