This book was released on 2018 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cumberland and Tennessee River drainages harbor high diversity and endemism of freshwater mussels. The faunas of the Harpeth River drainage and Duck River tributaries have been disproportionally understudied relative to other Cumberlandian streams. Forty-two sites on 23 tributaries in the Harpeth River drainage and a 21-kilometer reach of the main channel were assessed qualitatively for freshwater mussels. Relic shells of four species were observed in eight sites on four of the tributaries. Twenty species were observed in the main channel including the discovery of a new Harpeth River drainage record: Simsponaias ambigua. Catch per unit effort (CPUE) ranged from 0.0 to 32.0 mussels/h. Lampsilis fasciola and Potamilus alatus were the most abundant species. Mussel populations were fragmented and all species exhibited primarily large size-classes. Eighty-three sites on 37 tributaries in the upper and middle Duck River drainage were sampled qualitatively. Nineteen species were observed and 12 were collected live or fresh dead, and CPUE ranged from 0.0 to 58.0 mussels/h. Villosa vanuxemensis and Villosa taeniata were the most abundant and widespread species observed. Live mussels were found in only five tributaries, although mussels historically occurred in 17 of the sampled streams. Length frequency analysis indicated recent recruitment for four species in Big Rock Creek. Results of canonical correspondence analysis for both drainages revealed no association between environmental variables and mussel community structure (live and fresh dead individuals combined), likely a result of low densities. Two sites on Big Rock Creek in the Duck River drainage were sampled quantitatively using 0.25-m2 quadrats. Densities were 0.33 and 1.27 mussels/0.25m2 and species richness ranged from four to five. Quantitative sampling indicated that qualitative timed searches may be sufficient for detecting recruitment in small streams. Anthropogenic alteration has resulted in extensive loss of freshwater mussel habitat, leading to local extirpations and a reduction of diversity and abundance in both watersheds.
Book Synopsis Freshwater Mussels (Bivalvia: Margaritiferidae and Unionidae) of the Buffalo River Drainage, Tennessee by : Matthew Philip Reed

This book was released on 2014 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Buffalo River in Tennessee once hosted a rich population of freshwater mussels. During the 1980s, monitoring efforts demonstrated evidence of drastic declines and extirpation of entire assemblages. Increases in municipal development in the headwater tributaries and agriculture in the main stem of the Buffalo River are suspected causes for mussel community declines throughout the river. In 2011, collection data documented evidence of recovery in the lower Buffalo River. The aims of this project were: 1) to update the status, distribution, and species composition of mussels in the Buffalo River and its major tributaries through qualitative sampling, and 2) to analyze healthy community structures through quantitative sampling. Timed qualitative searches to establish Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) were conducted at approximately 8 km intervals (5 river miles) in the main channel and in major tributaries. A total of 33 species including two species new to the river drainage were recorded at 57 collecting sites. The highest number of live species per site was 20, recorded 3.2 mi (5.1 km) above the confluence with the Duck River. The most abundant and widely distributed mussels recorded in qualitative sampling were Villosa taeniata and Lampsilis fasciola, which were observed at 21 and 18 sampling sites, respectively. Catch Per Unit Effort varied throughout the drainage, demonstrating isolated pockets of healthy mussel assemblages as well as stretches of river with few live individuals. Quantitative sampling was conducted at Buffalo River Mile 3.2 (BRM 3.2) because of its community’s abundance and species richness. Twenty species and 178 live mussels were observed, with an average of 1.8 mussels per quadrat. The once-abundant mussel fauna in the middle and upper Buffalo River has yet to recover, but encouraging signs of limited recovery in the lower reaches of the river should be strongly considered in the watershed’s future management and conservation efforts.

H. Fuller and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survey of freshwater mussels of the Upper Mississippi River drainage was conducted during the summer and autumn of 1977. Over 8,000 living specimens were gathered and examined during surveillance of more than 40 actual and/or potential dredging sites in the Minnesota and St. Croix Rivers and in almost 20 Upper Mississippi River pools. Dredging and associated activities to maintain the 9-foot navigation channel has caused local mortality of mussels, including endangered species. There are other factors having far greater adverse impact, including wastes from the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, agricultural runoff, impoundment of the Upper Mississippi River and encroachment by Corbicula fluminea, the Asiatic Clam. The outlook for a continuing ecosystematic and commercial mussel resource appear to be good. Even certain endangered species (e.g. Lampsilis higginsi) are likely to survive if appropriate measures are taken.
