Population Assessment and Potential Functional Roles of Native Mussels in the Upper Mississippi River
Impact of UMESC Science The results of this study suggest that native mussels play an integral role in this ecosystem by sequestering large volumes of suspended materials that can be used by other benthic organisms. Managers now have critical data on population size, distribution, and relative health—these data are being used to guide habitat restoration activities to benefit native mussel...
