Evaluating the Feasibility of Rearing Juvenile Freshwater Mussels in a Flow-Through Pond System at White Sulphur Springs National Fish Hatchery
… juvenile freshwater mussels of Villosa iris and Lampsilis fasciola. Survival did not differ significantly (p = 0.1910) over 93 d for V. iris cultured with silt (mean 49.8% ± SD 14.5) and without (mean 32.9% ± SD 11.7). Survival differed significantly (p <0.0001) between juveniles of V. iris (mean …

Propagation of Juvenile Freshwater Mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae) and Assessment of Habitat Suitability for Restoration of Mussels in the Clinch River, Virginia
… 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 mussels in outdoor troughs and indoor aquaria. There …

Genetics, demography and modeling of freshwater mussel (Bivalvia: Unionidae) populations in the Clinch River, U.S.A.
… and E. capsaeformis, and a common species Lampsilis fasciola, in the Clinch River, TN, by screening mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences and nuclear DNA microsatellites. These species use fish hosts with varying dispersal capabilities, ranging from low, moderate, and high, respectively. …

Population demographics of six freshwater mussel species (Bivalvia: Unionidae) in the upper Clinch river, Virginia and Tennessee
… the source of enrichment. Growth rates of female Lampsilis fasciola were significantly less than growth rates of male L. fasciola after 3 years of age, probably due to the onset of sexual maturity. Age-class distributions revealed an absence of recruited juveniles at the Slant site (RK 359.3) …

Propagation and monitoring of freshwater mussels released into the Clinch and Powell rivers, Virginia and Tennessee
… juveniles of wavy-rayed lampmussel (Lampsilis fasciola) fed on natural food in pond water. Bio-filter media greatly increased water quality by reducing the concentration of ammonia and nitrite. The negative impacts of flatworm predation and filamentous algae in juvenile culture were …

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
… E. capsaeformis, and the wavyrayed lampmussel (Lampsilis fasciola) in captivity. Results indicated that 26 C is the optimum temperature to maximize growth of laboratory-propagated juveniles in small water-recirculating aquaculture systems. Growing endangered juveniles to larger sizes will …

Identification of Host Fish and Experimental Culture of Juveniles for Selected Freshwater Mussel Species in Virginia
… juveniles of the wavy-rayed lampmussel, Lampsilis fasciola, were kept in culture dishes, and in the other system (low maintenance), the juveniles were kept in culture beds. At the end of the 16-wk culture period, the 31.3% (± 15.4) survival exhibited in the dish culture system was …

Release of Juvenile Mussels into a Fish Hatchery Raceway: a Comparison of Techniques
… techniques. Juvenile wavyrayed lampmussels (<I>Lampsilis fasciola</I>) were artificially propagated in the laboratory and subsequently release into a fish hatchery raceway during June, September and March. Juveniles released in June experienced a gradual decline in survival rate, with 50% …

Population Biology of the Tan Riffleshell (<I>Epioblasma florentina walkeri</I>) and the Effects of Substratum and Light on Juvenile Propagation
… using juveniles of the wavyrayed lampmussel (<I>Lampsilis fasciola</I>) as a surrogate. In the first experiment, juvenile growth and survival was compared between four substratum types (fine sediment, < 120μm; fine sand, 500 μm-800 μm; coarse sand, 1000 μm-1400 μm; and mixed sediment, < 1400 …
