TL;DR: The results show that acute exposure to sea salt adversely affects freshwater mussels viability, particularly glochidia, and this information can be used to enhance freshwater mussel conservation strategies in regions that are or will be impacted by climate‐induced sea level rise and associated freshwater salinization.
