Habitat, Morphometric, and Augmentation Data of a Fatmucket (Lampsilis siliquoidea) Augmentation Effort in the Clinton River Watershed near Detroit, MI, September 2024

This data release contains individual freshwater mussel data used in an augmentation effort within the Clinton River watershed located near Detroit, Michigan in September 2024. Mussels were individually tagged with a unique identification tag, and a subset of mussels received a passive integrated transponder tag to be able to detect their location in June 2024. All mussels were measured for height, length, width, and a subset were weighed at the time of tagging. During the augmentation effort, five mussels were placed into a 1-m2 grid cell at five locations within the watershed. Microhabitat and discharge data were taken before mussels were placed into the grid.
