This book was released on 2001 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surveys were conducted in late July and early August 1999 to assess community characteristics, population demography of dominant species, status of endangered species, and characteristics of nonindigenous populations of freshwater bivalves in the lower Ohio River (LOR). Data will be used to analyze ecological effects of construction and operation of a new lock and dam at River Mile (RM) 964.4. Primary focus has been on a prominent mussel bed just downstream of the project at Olmsted, IL. Studies have shown that this mussel bed extends approximately from elevation 84.7 m (278 ft) nearshore to 69.2 m (267 ft) 2 2 farshore (elevations referred to mean seal level). Moderate- (20-50 individuals sq m) or high- (> 50 individuals sq m) density assemblages of mussels tend to occur at more central elevations on the bed from approximately RM 966.4 to 968.3. The downstream and farshore limits of the mussel bed tend to be less distinct than the nearshore and upstream limits. The community downstream of the project is extremely dominated by Fusconaia ebena. A mussel bed being monitored upstream of the project, at RM 957 near Post Creek, is clearly dominated by this species, but much less heavily than at Olmsted. Also, the abundance of F. ebena is higher farshore than nearshore at the Post Creek site. Communities at both Olmsted and Post Creek have been resilient to long-term occurrence (since approximately 1960) of the Asiatic clam, Corbicula fluminea, and more recent occurrence of the zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha. Both mussel beds are characterized by extreme dominance of just two year classes, 1981 and 1990, of the dominant species. Demographically complete sampling of F. ebena (Lea) at Olmsted was conducted from 1983 through 1999. Dominance of the 1981 and 1990 cohorts allowed length-to-age relationships to be estimated directly from length-frequency histograms. Two linear relationships adequately described growth rates from ages 2 through 17 years.

Studies have shown that this mussel bed extends approximately from elevation 278 ft nearshore to 267 ft farshore. Moderate (20-50 individuals per square meter) or high density (>50 individuals per square meter) assemblages of mussels tend to be at more central elevations on the bed from approximately RM 966.4 to 968.3.

Book excerpt: Surveys were conducted in the summers of 2000 and 2001 to assess community characteristics, population demography of dominant species, status of endangered species, and characteristics of nonindigenous populations of freshwater bivalves in the lower Ohio River. Data will be used to analyze ecological effects of construction and operation of a new lock and dam at River Mile (RM) 964.4. Primary focus has been on a prominent mussel bed just downstream of the project at Olmsted, IL. Studies have shown that this mussel bed extends approximately from elevation 278 ft nearshore to 267 ft farshore. Moderate (20 to 50 individuals/sq m) or high density (>50 individuals/sq m) assemblages of mussels tend to be located at more central elevations on the bed from approximately RM 966.4 to 968.3. The downstream and farshore limits of the mussel bed tend to be less distinct than the nearshore and upstream limits. The community downstream of the project is extremely dominated by Fusconaia ebena. A mussel bed being monitored upstream of the project, at RM 957 near Post Creek, is clearly dominated by this species, but much less heavily than at Olmsted. Also, the abundance of F. ebena is higher farshore than nearshore at the Post Creek site. Communities at both Olmsted and Post Creek have been resilient to long-term occurrence (since approximately 1960) of the Asiatic clam, Corbicula fluminea, and more recent occurrence of the zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha. Both mussel beds are characterized by extreme dominance of a few year classes (especially 1981, 1990, and 1998) of the dominant species. Rapid spring rises in discharge from unseasonally low values occurred in combination with rising water temperatures in spring of all three good recruitment years. These conditions may trigger spawning runs by F. ebena's host fish, Alosa chrysochloris (skipjack herring).

Download or read book The Freshwater Mussels of Ohio written by G. Thomas Watters and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early nineteenth century, a naturalist named Rafinesque stood on the banks of the Ohio River and began to describe the freshwater mussels he found there. Since that time, these animals have earned a place among the most imperiled animals in North America. Dozens of species have become extinct, and it is estimated that two-thirds of the remaining freshwater mussels face a similar fate. Yet, despite their importance, the mussels of Ohio remain a poorly documented and largely mysterious fauna. This book compiles existing research on Ohio's mussels, synthesizing works on genetics, biology, and systematics into one volume. Full-page color images depict shell variation, hinge detail, and beak sculpture. Full-page maps show the distribution of each species based upon the collections of numerous museums, with historical distributions dating from the 1800s. In addition to species accounts, the book has an introductory section that includes information on basic biology, human use, and conservation issues.--adapted from jacket.
