This book was released on 2012 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survey of the freshwater mussels (Unionidae) of the Welland River was undertaken by Fisheries and Oceans Canada staff in August 2008. Eight sites were sampled throughout the watershed, with six from the main channel and two from tributaries (Oswego Creek and Lyons Creek). A total of 50 live animals were found, representing nine different species. This survey represents the most comprehensive and current survey of unionid fauna in the Welland River and as such lays the foundation for future studies in this watershed and in the Niagara Region.--Document.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Surveys of the freshwater mussels (Unionidae) of the Bayfield River watershed and smaller nearby Lake Huron tributaries in southwestern Ontario were undertaken by Fisheries and Oceans Canada in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Eighteen sites were sampled along the Bayfield River, from both the main channel and its tributaries. A total of 1385 animals were found, representing 16 species. The dominant species in the Bayfield River watershed was Pyganodon grandis, which occurred at over half of the sites surveyed, and represented 44% of all mussels found."--Document.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survey of the freshwater mussels (Unionidae) of the Saugeen River watershed of southwestern Ontario was undertaken by Fisheries and Oceans Canada staff in September 2006. Eight sites were sampled across the watershed including sites in all 5 sub-basins and the main channel. In total, 1064, mussels were collected during this survey representing 8 species. When combined with results from limited historic and opportunistic sampling in the watershed these results bring the total number of species recorded for the watershed to 11. The dominant species in the Saugeen River was Elliptio dilatata occurring at 85% of sites and representing 67% of all mussels encountered. Only one mussel Species at Risk, Villosa iris, was detected during the survey. Although widespread (occurring at 71% of sites) this species was numerically rare representing less than 5% of all mussels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fisheries and Oceans Canada surveyed the Welland River in 2014, 2015, and 2016 for freshwater mussels (Unionidae). From the 19 sites surveyed within the main channel and four tributaries (Coyle, Lyons, and Oswego creeks, and the Feeder Canal), 668 live individuals representing 11 species, including three Species at Risk (SAR), were found. Additionally, one SAR and three common species were found as valves only. Future research will benefit from quantitative sampling techniques to eliminate biases of qualitative surveys, surveying headwaters, and revisiting sites in order to better understand population trends of both SAR and common mussel species"--Abstract, p. vi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The West Virginia Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Resources, is currently undertaking a statewide survey of West Virginia's freshwater mussel resources. The purpose of this statewide survey is to identify where healthy populations of freshwater mussels exist. This will provide baseline data for future wastewater management decisions. Once identified, these populations will be sampled periodically for changes in diversity and/or for tissue and shell analyses of pesticides and metals. Areas not found to have mussels in initial surveys will be checked periodically to determine if improved water quality has brought about a return of the mussles.

Download or read book The Great Lakes Water Wars written by Peter Annin and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Lakes are the largest collection of fresh surface water on earth, and more than 40 million Americans and Canadians live in their basin. Will we divert water from the Great Lakes, causing them to end up like Central Asia's Aral Sea, which has lost 90 percent of its surface area and 75 percent of its volume since 1960? Or will we come to see that unregulated water withdrawals are ultimately catastrophic? Peter Annin writes a fast-paced account of the people and stories behind these upcoming battles. Destined to be the definitive story for the general public as well as policymakers, The Great Lakes Water Wars is a balanced, comprehensive look behind the scenes at the conflicts and compromises that are the past-and future-of this unique resource.
