Book Synopsis The Freshwater Mussels of Ohio by : G. Thomas Watters
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.
Book Synopsis The Freshwater Mussels of Tennessee by : Paul Woodburn Parmalee
Download or read book The Freshwater Mussels of Tennessee written by Paul Woodburn Parmalee and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Freshwater Mussels of Tennessee . . . is indispensable to anyone, anywhere, working on this group. Parmalee and Bogan have written a work that sets the standard for future regional guides."--G. Thomas Watters, Ohio Biological Survey "The Freshwater Mussels of Tennessee documents a tremendously diverse and unique mussel fauna that is rapidly being destroyed by modern development. Parmalee and Bogan set a new standard for state mussel surveys in their authoritative, thorough, and and highly readable account. The book will be of interest to biologists and conservationists worldwide and will appeal to anyone who cares about the preservation of natural resources in the southeastern United States."--Robert E. Warren, Illinois State Museum With more than 150 species and subspecies recorded in the state, Tennessee has one of the most diverse freshwater mussel faunas in North America. Valuable as indicators of water quality, these mollusks have themselves become threatened as development encroaches on habitat--twenty-three are currently listed as endangered species and at least twelve have become extinct. This is the first book for Tennessee to deal with this biologically and commercially significant group of mollusks. Its authors have been studying and writing about the mussels of Tennessee for more than twenty years and have undertaken a systematic organization of a large and complex body of information to bring order to a difficult field. The book traces the long history of human exploitation of mussels, from aboriginal food gathering to the growth of the cultured pearl industry. It provides an interpretive context for its exhaustive species accounts with background material on biology, distribution, economic utilization, taxonomy, and conservation issues. The authors also review the life cycle of the mussel and describe its many remarkable traits, such as its shell formation and the strategies it employs during the larval stage in parasitizing fish. The species accounts comprise 128 members of Family Unionidae--from pigtoes and pocketbooks to lilliputs and spikes--plus four additional species. The authors cover classification and synonymy, range and distribution, life history and ecology, and survival status. Particular attention is paid to shell description and structure to assist the reader in identification. Each species account includes a distribution map and color photos of two specimens. The Freshwater Mussels of Tennessee is a major reference that encompasses historical and modern mussel collections and draws on conservation studies that span two centuries. It will stand as an authoritative guide to understanding Tennessee mollusks and as a benchmark in the study of these species worldwide. The Authors: Paul W. Parmalee is professor emeritus of zooarchaeology and director emeritus of the McClung Museum at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Arthur E. Bogan is curator of aquatic invertebrates at the North Carolina State Museum of Natural Sciences, Raleigh.

Book Synopsis Investigations for the Conservation and Propagation of Freshwater Mussels by : Christopher T. Owen
Download or read book Investigations for the Conservation and Propagation of Freshwater Mussels written by Christopher T. Owen and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freshwater mussels are the most imperiled freshwater fauna in North America. Species faced unregulated harvest during the 'ignorant extermination' periods where they were sought for their pearls and mother-of-pearl shells. Much of the native range of most species has dwindled due to the loss of habitat from impoundment by rivers and dams. Impoundment also impacted mussels by blocking the migration of many host fishes, as unionids are briefly parasitic on fish and thus dependent upon fishes for reproduction. Over 70% of all unionid taxa are deemed threatened, endangered or of special concern, and much of this loss of biodiversity can be embodied by E. O. Wilson's HIPPO concept. Conservation efforts to preserve and protect these species have been constrained due to the lack of understanding of the natural history of most species and currently consist of mitigating destabilizing impacts to existing populations and bolstering mussel populations in areas with critical mussel habitat through propagation. Muskrats are natural predators of all freshwater mussels and can severely impact already vulnerable populations, possibly reducing populations below the minimum number for successful reproduction (Alice effect). Muskrats appear to select mussels after developing a search image for particular prey-type. At our site, muskrats favored cube-shaped (inflated or swollen) animals, over compressed mussels of equal lengths, presumably because inflated individuals tend to have more edible soft tissues (or at least possess the appearance that they do). Muskrats were extremely efficient at finding cube shaped species that were found at extremely low densities in the live community, such as Quadrula metanevra. Muskrats also heavily favored the endangered Fanshell Pearlymussel, Cyprogenia stegaria, which was the number one favored prey item at our site. The majority of endangered unionids (measured from our site and museum specimens) fall within the same size and shape of the species favored in our study. Given the efficiency of muskrats at finding particular prey species, mitigation of predation pressure by locally trapping or relocating muskrats should be considered as part of mussel recovery programs. Mitigation may be necessary for successfully bolstering or establishing new populations with propagated juveniles released into critical mussel habitat. In vitro metamorphosis is such a propagation method. It facilitates culturing unionids without their host fish, and may be the only method of propagation for many endangered species for which the host fish is unknown. We investigated the components and protocol of the in vitro method to increase the efficacy of producing healthy juvenile mussels. Control of microbial contamination was the major impediment to successfully culturing most species. Microbial contamination is best controlled by minimizing the introduction of microbes into the culture dishes, changing the culture medium regularly and replenishing antibiotics daily. Antimycotics negatively affect the development of most species and should be used at minimum working concentrations. The protein source used in vitro may be important for host-specific mussels species, but host-generalists can be successfully cultured in either mammalian or fish serum sources, though fish serum may possess natural antibiotics that aid the control of microbial contamination. Juveniles in cultures containing fish serum increase their lipid reserves significantly over their levels as glochidia, but it is unknown how the lipid levels compare to juveniles cultured on host fishes. Lipid fortified media produces animals with high survivorship post-metamorphosis but data are conflicting as to whether the fortified media produces juveniles with greater lipid reserves than media without lipid supplements. With modifications to the in vitro medium and protocol, juvenile mussels can be easily and consistently cultured without host fishes. One cohort of Lampsilis siliquoidea was cultured in vitro using mammalian serum in the culture medium and the juveniles were grown in hatchery conditions for one year after metamorphosis. The growth of the juveniles as measured by total length exceeded the predicted length based on Von Bertalanffy growth equations, indicating our juveniles possessed no immediately observable developmental abnormalities. Variation of size, periostracum coloration and ray patterns were highly variable in the juveniles; diverse phenotypes are typical of wildtype populations and suggestive that our method may not be selective or reduce the genetic diversity of the animals to be used to bolster natural populations. Overall, we feel that with our modifications, we can successfully culture healthy, viable juveniles for bolstering existing populations of freshwater unionids. Our method also allows for the efficient production of juvenile mussels in a laboratory setting for toxicity testing, genetic work and general histological and physiological research.
Book Synopsis Ecology and Evolution of the Freshwater Mussels Unionoida by : G. Bauer
Download or read book Ecology and Evolution of the Freshwater Mussels Unionoida written by G. Bauer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All those who think that bivalves are boring are in the best company. Karl von Frisch is reported to have turned the pages more quickly in texts where bivalves were treated because, according to him, they literally lack any behaviour. The fact that they can filtrate huge amounts of water, burrow into the sedi ment, actively swim, drill holes into rocks and boats or detect shadows with the aid of pretty blue eyes located on the rim of their mantle obviously left v. Frisch unimpressed. Why, then, a book on the large freshwater mussels (Naiads or Unionoida), which on first sight are much less spectacular than the marine ones? The main reason is that they are keepers of secrets which they reveal only on close and careful inspection. This is not only true for the pearls some species produce and which over centuries have contributed to the treasures of bishops and kings, but particularly for their ecology: their life cycles are linked with those of fishes, some can occur in incredible densities and some can live for more than 100 years. Thus, the presence or absence of naiads in a lake or stream has manifold implications.
Book Synopsis Freshwater Mussel Propagation for Restoration by : Matthew A. Patterson
Download or read book Freshwater Mussel Propagation for Restoration written by Matthew A. Patterson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freshwater mussels are declining rapidly worldwide. Propagation has the potential to restore numbers of these remarkable organisms, preventing extinction of rare species and maintaining the many benefits that they bring to aquatic ecosystems. Written by practitioners with firsthand experience of propagation programs, this practical book is a thorough guide to the subject, taking readers through the process from start to finish. The latest propagation and culture techniques are explored as readers follow freshwater mussels through their amazing and complex life cycle. Topics covered include the basics of building a culture facility, collecting and maintaining brood stock, collecting host species, infesting host species with larval mussels, collecting and culturing juvenile mussels, releasing juveniles to the wild, and post-release monitoring. This will be valuable reading for any biologist interested in the conservation of freshwater mussel populations.
