The conglutinate moves by itself, making a pulsing motion.

Kaisma has conglutinated with the neighbouring Kergu village.
3.
Some mussels release their glochidia inside a spongy, sticky mass called a conglutinate.
4.
There is also an even more specialized way of dispersal known as a super-conglutinate.
5.
The conglutinate sometimes resembles a prey item, such as a worm, which attracts the fish.
6.
This mussel packages its larvae, or glochidia, in a membranous conglutinate which resembles a small prey item.
7.
The conglutinate has a sticky filament that allows it to adhere to the substrate so it is not washed away.
8.
Mussels that produce conglutinates and super-conglutinates are often gill parasites, the glochidia attaching to the fish gills to continue their development into juveniles.

10.
Some mussels in the Unionidae, such as " Ptychobranchus fasciolaris " and " P . greenii ", release their glochidia in mucilaginous packets called conglutinates.
