Techniques for Evaluating Power Plant Discharges Using In-Situ Breakdown and Flow Though Laboratory Sediment Bioassays
… a methodology for testing 24-48 hr old juvenile Asiatic clams (Corbicula fluminea) to sediments in 10-day bioassays. These organisms had acceptable survivorship in the controls (>70%), excellent recovery of all exposed organisms (97.5%) and were sensitive to copper-spiked sediments. Comparitive …

Toxicological, physiological, and behavioral responses of the Asiatic clam, Corbicula sp., to biocidal and copper perturbations
… and ammonia as control agents of the Asiatic clam, Corbicula sp. Control procedures were evaluated based on lethal and sublethal responses (e.g., glycogen, tissue water, dry weight index, and siphoning activity) of clams during 30-day laboratory artificial stream studies. Studies also …
