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.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the months of May-September 1979 the Ohio River, from its origin at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to the Greenup Locks and Dam, Greenup, Kentucky, was surveyed in order to document the extant freshwater mussel fauna. This was accomplished by a team of biologists from Marshall University traveling the river in a sixteen foot bass boat powered by a fifty horsepower outboard motor. The river was traversed at approximately five miles per hour until either likely looking habitat or shell debris was spotted. Sighting of shell deposits was aided by using binoculars to scan the shore line. In either case, as shells were discovered the boat was beached and collections were made. All shells, old and new, were collected from the beaches, bagged and tagged with locality data and later returned to the laboratory for sorting and identification. Many additional shells were also hand picked from shallow waters. By virtue of the fact that mussels were already in short supply, very few live specimens were removed from the river. For the most part live specimens were collected, identified and returned to the water. Many sites were brailed, using a six foot sampling brail, but for the most part brailing proved unsatisfactory as there was so much debris on the river bottom that we spent more time cleaning the brail than we spent brailing. Upon returning to the laboratory specimens were cleaned, labeled, aged, cataloged and classified as to whether they were without a doubt distinctly fresh or whether they were sub-fossils. The total number of species identified was 35. Of this number eight were found only as sub-fossil shells and must be presumed to be presently extinct or very nearly so in this research of the river.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survey to assess community characteristics, density, population demography of dominant species, and the presence of rare or endangered species of mussels (Family: Unionidae) was conducted in selected reaches of the Quiver River and Bogue Phalia, Mississippi, in 1994 and 1995 for the U.S. Army Engineer District, Vicksburg. Results are being used to assess the economic value of mussels in the project area and to determine the environmental effects of proposed maintenance dredging. The project area included a section of the Quiver River between its confluence with the Big Sunflower River immediately north of Highway 82 in Sunflower County to the Leflore-Tallahatchie county line. In the Bogue Phalia, the study area consisted of a reach between Highway 82 and Rosedale, west-central Bolivar County. Twenty-two species of native freshwater mussels were collected in the Quiver River; 26 sites were sampled using qualitative methods, and a total of 2,238 mussels were collected. The dominant mussel was Amblema p. plicata, which comprised over 67 percent of the mussel fauna. Plectomerus dombeyanus comprised 20 percent of the mussels. Overall species diversity (0.67 to 0.90) was low, mainly because of the dominance of A. p. plicata. Evidence of recent recruitment was low; approximately 7 percent of the species and 0.15 percent of the individuals collected were less than 30 mm total shell length. Overall mean density ranged from less than 8.6 individuals/square meter at River Mile (RM) 6.4 to 92.3 individuals/square meter at RM 19.7.
