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 ...

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.
