Freshwater Mussels of Virginia (Bivalvia: Unionidae): An Introduction to Their Life History, Status and Conservation
With 77 species, the mussel fauna of Virginia is one of the most diverse in the United States. Fifty-four species or ~70% of the state’s mussel fauna occurs in the rivers of the upper Tennessee River basin, especially in the Clinch and Powell rivers of southwestern Virginia. An additional 23 species reside in rivers of the Atlantic Slope, including the Potomac, Rappahannock, York, James and Cho...
متن کاملChlorine toxicity to early life stages of freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae).
Chlorine (Cl) is a highly toxic, widely used halogen disinfectant that is present in point-source pollution discharges from wastewater treatment plants and industrial facilities. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency freshwater criteria for Cl are 19 microg total residual Cl (TRC)/L as a maximum 1-h average concentration and 11 microg TRC/L as a maximum 4-d average; however, toxicological da...
متن کاملDistribution, Abundance, and Biomass of Freshwater Mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae) in Lake St. Clair
A mussel population survey was conducted in Lake St. Clair with divers using SCUBA to sample at 29 stations throughout the lake. Mean abundance was 2 m~2 and mean biomass was 4.4 g dry wt m~2. Of the 18 species collected, Lampsilis radiata siliquoidea was by far the most abundant, accounting for 45% of all individuals. The age-frequency distribution ofL. r. siliquoidea was dominated by individu...
متن کاملLong-Term Decline in Freshwater Mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae) of the Western Basin of Lake Erie
Long-term trends in the abundance of unionids in the western basin of Lake Erie were examined from data collected at 17 stations in 1961, 1972, and 1982. The mean number of unionids at these stations declined over this time period, decreasing from 10 m~2 in 1961, to 6 m~2 in 1972, down to 4 m~2 in 1982. This decline in abundance was reflected in the decrease in the number of stations where muss...
متن کاملReach- and catchment-scale determinants of the distribution of freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae) in south-eastern Michigan, U.S.A
1. We investigated the diversity and distribution of freshwater mussels at 40 sites in an agricultural catchment, the River Raisin in south-eastern Michigan, to relate mussel assemblages and individual taxa to reach and catchment-scale variables. Unionids were surveyed by timed searches in 100-m reaches, and in-stream and riparian habitat were quantified as well as flow, water chemistry and cha...
