Avoid and Minimize (A&M) What are mussel habitat requirements? Contract Ecological Specialists, Inc. Mussel workshop, Alton IL, August 9, 2013

Aggregations (mussel beds) have higher density than surrounding area. Healthy beds constrained to stable areas of the riverbed. Complex hydraulic variables combined with physical variables is best predictor of presence/abundance. In general – moderate conditions are best.

Tombigbee River gravel bar Lower Ohio River Wolf Island side channel Bertom & McCartney Lakes

Pool 24 Pool 25 Pool 26 Middle River Illinois River

Habitat in MVS is poor, creation of large mussel beds unlikely. Modified river training structures create flow refugia – could benefit mussels. Chevron, round point, bullnose dikes. Gravel bar habitat.

Facilitate meetings. Investigate selected sites. Report of survey results.

Facilitate meeting: Select sites for investigation of colonization and habitat suitability. Determine sampling strategies for selected sites.

Two days at each of the five sites. Habitat conditions. Substrate stability. Presence/absence. Hydraulic parameters.

Post sampling meeting. Freshwater mussel summary report. Data analysis results: Map of mussel distribution Map of habitat conditions Tables of mussels species, age structure, relative abundance.

Better management practices. Better support the Endangered Species Act. Pictures from: Barnhart, M. C Unio Gallery:
