What are Freshwater Mussels Worth? [PDF]

Freshwater Mollusk Biology and Conservation, 2017
Historically, little thought was given to the value of freshwater mussels when making decisions that affected these animals and their habitats, even though these values may be considerable, and may be greatly changed by environmental alterations. Here, I review several kinds of values provided by freshwater mussels.

Water pollution from swine factory farms poses a threat to endangered and threatened species

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Factory farms, or concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), generate millions of tons of manure each year in the United States. The storage, handling, and land application of this manure leads to air, water, and climate pollution, which disproportionately impacts low‐income communities of color and poses additional public health and ...

Fish and mussels: importance of fish for freshwater mussel conservation

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015
Co-extinctions have received trivial consideration in discussions about the global conservation crisis, even though recent studies have emphasised their importance. This situation is even more pronounced in freshwater ecosystems where this phenomenon is largely unrecognized.

Prospects of multipurpose biomonitoring for fisheries assessment based on environmental nucleic acids

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Methods using environmental nucleic acids have become highly effective for monitoring aquatic biodiversity, with an array of suitable use cases, including metrics for fisheries assessment. Traditional methods for assessing fish populations often rely on invasive techniques with limited spatial and temporal coverage.

Changes and drivers of freshwater mussel diversity patterns in the middle and lower Yangtze River Basin, China

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
The Yangtze River Basin (Changjiang Basin) hosts one of the most diverse freshwater mussel assemblages on Earth. However, due to human activities this fauna is dramatically imperiled in this region, highlighting the need for urgent conservation measures.

Freshwater shrimp (Palaemonetes Australis) may be involved in glochidia release from the freshwater mussel(Westraluno Carteri)

, 2011
On 27 November 2010 while snorkeling in Canebreak Pool, Margaret River I observed interesting interactions between freshwater shrimp (Palaemonetes australis) and freshwater mussels (Westralunio carteri). First, it is necessary to give a brief explanation
