Biology, Captive Propagation, and Feasibility of Pearl Culture in the Pink Heelsplitter (Potamilus Alatus) (Say, 1817) (Bivalvia: Unionidae)
Pink heelsplitter (Potamilus alatus) mussels collected from Kentucky Lake, TN were held at two bottom locations (0.6 m, 2.5 m) and suspended in pocket nets (at depth about 1.0 - 1.5 m) in a pond at the Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Center (FMCC), Virginia Tech, for 1 yr.
