Development of a suitable diet for endangered juvenile oyster mussels, Epioblasma capsaeformis (Bivalvia:Unionidae), reared in a captive environment
Epioblasma capsaeformis, commonly named the oyster mussel, once occupied thousands of miles of stream reaches, but has now been reduced in range to small, isolated populations in a few river reaches. Due to this significant decline in population numbers, a study was conducted to develop a diet for …

A Holistic Approach to Taxonomic Evaluation of Two Closely Related Endangered Freshwater Mussel Species, the Oyster Mussel (Epioblasma capsaeformis) and Tan Riffleshell (Epioblasma florentina walkeri) (Bivalvia: Unionidae)
… characterized for the endangered oyster mussel Epioblasma capsaeformis from the Clinch River, TN. Microsatellite loci also were amplified for individuals collected from the following additional populations or species: (1) E. capsaeformis from Duck River, TN; (2) E. florentina walkeri from Indian …

Approaches for assessing toxicity of selected contaminants to freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae)
… 3-mo > 6-mo > 12-mo), and that 2-mo old Epioblasma capsaeformis were more sensitive than comparable age classes of V. iris. However, both species were tolerant compared to other aquatic organisms, as the lowest endpoint was 20 ppb TRC.

Propagation of Juvenile Freshwater Mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae) and Assessment of Habitat Suitability for Restoration of Mussels in the Clinch River, Virginia
… and raceway for rearing juvenile oystermussels (Epioblasma capsaeformis) and wavyrayed lampmussel (Lampsilis fasciola). This experiment was prematurely terminated due to predation on mussels by fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas). Experiment 2 evaluated growth and survival of juvenile rainbow …

An Evaluation of Population Restoration and Monitoring Techniques for Freshwater Mussels in the Upper Clinch River, Virginia, and Refinement of Culture Methods for Laboratory-Propagated Juveniles
… of the federally endangered oyster mussel (Epioblasma capsaeformis). These techniques were: 1) translocation of adults (Site 1), 2) release of laboratory-propagated sub-adults (Site 1), 3) release of 8-week old laboratory-propagated juveniles (Site 2), and 4) release of stream-side infested …

Evaluation of the Effects of Mining Related Contaminants on Freshwater Mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae) in the Powell River of Virginia and Tennessee
… (Villosa iris) and one endangered species (Epioblasma capsaeformis). No significant differences in overall survival between treatments and control were observed for either species over a 70 day test period. Total growth was not significantly different between treatments and control for …

Bayesian population dynamics modeling to guide population restoration and recovery of endangered mussels in the Clinch River, Tennessee and Virginia
… endangered mussel species, the oyster mussel (Epioblasma capsaeformis), was selected to study its population dynamics for my research. The analysis was based on two datasets, length frequency data from annual surveys conducted at three sites in Clinch River: Wallen Bend (Clinch River Mile 192) …

An Evaluation of the Survival and Growth of Juvenile and Adult Freshwater Mussels at the Aquatic Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC), Marion, Virginia
… L/min) on the survival and growth of V. iris and Epioblasma capsaeformis reared in flow-through troughs. In summer 2004, round flow-through tanks were used to assess the effects of three sizes of substrate (fine sediment, fine sand, and coarse sand) and sampling frequency on the survival and …
