Book Synopsis Native Freshwater Mussel Populations in Riffle Areas of Cassadaga Creek, NY by : Elizabeth Simon
Download or read book Native Freshwater Mussel Populations in Riffle Areas of Cassadaga Creek, NY written by Elizabeth Simon and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cassadaga Creek, located in Western NY state and part of the Mississippi River Drainage Basin, hosts a relatively strong population of native freshwater mussels. During summer 2004 and 2005, a study was preformed to quantify the mussel populations, as well as the environmental parameters impacting them. Results were obtained from analyzing data collected from five water quality sampling sites for both summer 2004 and 2005 for the following environmental parameters: dissolved oxygen, conductivity, pH, temperature, phosphate, nitrates, chloride, and chlorophyll a. Also, measurements of flow rate and water depth from five water quality sampling sites during summer 2004 and 2005 were obtained. Upon surveying Cassadaga Creek during summer 2004, twelve riffle areas with potential for harboring native freshwater mussels were identified. Within these riffles, eleven native freshwater mussel species were found in summer 2005, including living specimens of the New York State endangered species the Rayed bean (Villosa fabalis). Important findings from the study were that Ross Mills, one of the southernmost sites, appears to have the most ideal water quality in terms of dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, conductivity, and velocity, as well as the highest quantity, diversity, and density of native freshwater mussel populations in Cassadaga Creek, NY. -- Author abstract.
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 Sampling Rare or Elusive Species by : William Thompson
Download or read book Sampling Rare or Elusive Species written by William Thompson and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2013-04-10 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information regarding population status and abundance of rare species plays a key role in resource management decisions. Ideally, data should be collected using statistically sound sampling methods, but by their very nature, rare or elusive species pose a difficult sampling challenge. Sampling Rare or Elusive Species describes the latest sampling designs and survey methods for reliably estimating occupancy, abundance, and other population parameters of rare, elusive, or otherwise hard-to-detect plants and animals. It offers a mixture of theory and application, with actual examples from terrestrial, aquatic, and marine habitats around the world. Sampling Rare or Elusive Species is the first volume devoted entirely to this topic and provides natural resource professionals with a suite of innovative approaches to gathering population status and trend data. It represents an invaluable reference for natural resource professionals around the world, including fish and wildlife biologists, ecologists, biometricians, natural resource managers, and all others whose work or research involves rare or elusive species.
Book Synopsis Standard Methods for Sampling North American Freshwater Fishes by : Scott A. Bonar
Download or read book Standard Methods for Sampling North American Freshwater Fishes written by Scott A. Bonar and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This was the first effort to standardize methods for inland fish sampling across North America and, as such, was a joint effort contributed to by a large group of talented and dedicated individuals, in addition to the authors and coeditors. While these sampling methods were primarily developed for North America, most could be used with little or no modification in other areas of the world. Those involved with standard sampling efforts in North America would welcome the opportunity to collaborate with scientists from other regions to develop methods to share data worldwide.
Book Synopsis Freshwater Mussel Ecology by : David L. Strayer
Download or read book Freshwater Mussel Ecology written by David L. Strayer and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2008-06-10 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pearly mussels (Unionoidea) live in lakes, rivers, and streams around the world. These bivalves play important roles in freshwater ecosystems and were once both culturally and economically valuable as sources of food, pearls, and mother-of-pearl. Today, however, hundreds of species of these mussels are extinct or endangered. David L. Strayer provides a critical synthesis of the factors that control the distribution and abundance of pearly mussels. Using empirical analyses and models, he assesses the effects of dispersal, habitat quality, availability of fish hosts, adequate food, predators, and parasites. He also addresses conservation issues that apply to other inhabitants of fresh waters around the globe and other pressing issues in contemporary ecology.

Book Synopsis Riverine Ecosystem Management by : Stefan Schmutz
Download or read book Riverine Ecosystem Management written by Stefan Schmutz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book surveys the frontier of scientific river research and provides examples to guide management towards a sustainable future of riverine ecosystems. Principal structures and functions of the biogeosphere of rivers are explained; key threats are identified, and effective solutions for restoration and mitigation are provided. Rivers are among the most threatened ecosystems of the world. They increasingly suffer from pollution, water abstraction, river channelisation and damming. Fundamental knowledge of ecosystem structure and function is necessary to understand how human acitivities interfere with natural processes and which interventions are feasible to rectify this. Modern water legislation strives for sustainable water resource management and protection of important habitats and species. However, decision makers would benefit from more profound understanding of ecosystem degradation processes and of innovative methodologies and tools for efficient mitigation and restoration. The book provides best-practice examples of sustainable river management from on-site studies, European-wide analyses and case studies from other parts of the world. This book will be of interest to researchers in the field of aquatic ecology, river system functioning, conservation and restoration, to postgraduate students, to institutions involved in water management, and to water related industries.

Book Synopsis A Literature Review of Freshwater Mussel Survey Methods and Techniques Used in Deep, Turbid Environments by : Rebecca M. L. Dolson
Download or read book A Literature Review of Freshwater Mussel Survey Methods and Techniques Used in Deep, Turbid Environments written by Rebecca M. L. Dolson and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Under the Species at Risk Act, Fisheries and Oceans Canada is responsible for the management of aquatic species at risk including freshwater mussels. Adaptive and responsive species management requires robust survey methods to answer management questions. To date, most of the survey method guidelines to monitor freshwater mussels in Canada have been developed for wadeable streams. However, there is a need to develop deep-water survey guidelines and protocols to ensure adequate protection for mussel species found in deep, turbid environments. This report summarizes the results from a literature review of freshwater mussel (Bivalvia: Unionidae) sampling methods and techniques used in deep, turbid, or high-flow environments. In total, 110 sources from primary and grey literature were reviewed"--Abstract, page iv.
