Mac, M. J., C. C. Edsall, R. J. Hessleberg, and R. E. Sayers, Jr. 1984. Flow Through Bioassay for Measuring Bioaccumulation of Toxic Substances from Sediment. Final Report, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency EPA 905/3 84 007. 26 pp. [Also published as NTIS PB85 1755457AS]

A bioassay was developed for testing the solid phase of dredged material that measures the survival of organisms, and the bioaccumulation of toxic substances. This bioassay is intended to estimate the bioaccumulation potential from sediments that are not acutely toxic to test organisms, but are suspected of containing persistent contaminants. Two species of fish, Pimephales promelas and Perca flavescens, and two invertebrate species, Octalasion tyrtaeus and Corbicula fluminea were used in the evaluation of the flow through bioassay. Although not intended as a toxicity test per se, the test enables interpretation of any mortality that may occur during bioassays.

The results suggest that Corbicula fluminea's suitability as a test organism for measuring bioaccumulation is questionable due to several factors: (a) it may cease feeding in certain sediments, (b) it had the lowest BCF of all species tested, and (c) the presence of the shell causes confusion as to what to use as an analytical sample. Although these bivalves accumulate metals in their shells, the ecological and toxicological significance of this metal accumulation is unknown. This leads to uncertainty as to whether shells should be included in the contaminant analysis. Both organic and inorganic analyses are often conducted on samples taken from the same preparation, but the inclusion of shells in the organics analysis could result in analytical problems.

Certain aspects of the life history of the smallmouth buffalo in Watts Bar Reservoir and Chickamauga Reservoir were investigated from February to November 1977. Food habits, age, growth, length-weight relationship, condition, fecundity and sex ratios were studied. Bivalve molluscs, particularly Corbicula sp, were the dominant food item found in the diet of smallmouth buffalo from both reservoirs. Other important food items included Cladocera, Copepoda, and Bryozoa. Age Class 6 was the dominant age class of fish collected from both reservoirs. Growth was average when compared to published studies on smallmouth buffalo from other waters. Length-weight relationship for smallmouth buffalo from Watts Bar Reservoir was LogW = -3.164 + 2.400 LogL while the length-weight relationship of smallmouth buffalo from Chickamauga Reservoir was LogW = -3.792 + 2.632 LogL. Condition in smallmouth buffalo from both reservoirs decreased with length and then leveled off.

Corbicula fluminea and Pimephales promelas were simultaneously exposed to industrially contaminated river sediments. A simple kinetics model and physicochemical estimation methods were applied to bioaccumulation of PCB as total di  and total tri chlorobiphenyls. Results show that residues measured after a short exposure period together with elimination rate constants (k₂) estimated from octanol/water partition coefficients (E_ow) can be used to approximate steady state nonequilibrium tissue concentrations (C_ss). The estimated C_ss values obtained using tissue residues (C_T) measured after seven days of exposure (t = 7), in the equation

C_ss = C_T/(1   e ^2kt)

agreed with C_ss values obtained using longer exposures and larger data sets at the a < 0.01 level. Normalization of residue data on tissue lipid content made comparisons of bioaccumulation between these dissimilar species possible.

Five species of submerged vegetation Lagarosiphon ilicifolius, Najas pectinata, Vallisneria aethiopica, Ceratophyllum demersum and Potamogeton octandrus; 7 species of gastropods Melanoides tuberculata, Bellamya capillata, Biomphalaria pfeifferi, Bullinus tropicus, Cleopatra sp, and Lymnaea natalensis and 4 species of bivalves Corbicula africana, Caelatura mossambicensis, Mutela dubia and Aspatharia wahlbergii are correlated with environmental variables particularly slope and transparency, in Lake Kariba. A stepwise regression analysis further revealed interdependence between (Cleopatra sp., B. pfeifferi, L. natalensis, B. capillata, and V. aethiopica as well as between as between C. mossambicensis and L. ilicifolius and N. pectinata. The dependence of B. pfeifferi, L. natalensis, B. capillata, Cleopatra sp. on V. aethiopica and C. mossambicensis on L. ilicifolius and N. pectinata implies that a change in the biomass of the vegetation species may affect distribution and biomass of the faunal species.

Scanning electron microscope studies of shell fragments of 23 species of freshwater Sphaeriacea (including Corbicula fluminea) reveal the occurrence of two basic structural types, complex crossed lamellae and pallial myostracum, throughout the group. X ray diffraction analyses show that the calcified layers consist of orthorhombic aragonite. Shell structure and crystal type show little or no variation with different environmental conditions and are presumably under genetic control.

Of thirty eight sphaeriacean species (including Corbicula fluminea) in Nearctic North America, only Pisidium ultramontanum, a relict species found living only in northeastern California and south central Oregon, is considered an endangered species. Two other species, Sphaerium patella and Pisidium cruciatum, are considered rare species, being found only in a few small populations in four adjacent west coast states and the Great Lakes drainage system, respectively. The endangered and rare species status are based on a frequency distribution of the number of species in 62 states, provinces andterritories in Nearctic North America.

Mackie, G. L. 1986. Functional morphology of the mantle of North American Corbiculacea. American Malacological Bulletin 4(1):116. [Abstract]

The mantle edges of twenty one species of freshwater Corbiculacea were examined for differences in morphologies of mantle folds to determine their taxonomic value and functional significance. The only apparent familial feature is the presence of three distinct distal folds in the mantle edge of Corbiculidae and two in Pisidiidae. Within the Pisidiidae the relative lengths of the middle and outer mantle folds and the presence or absence of cilia and the extent of ciliation on the inner fold appear to be of taxonomic value at the species level. The cilia probably help circulate water in the mantle cavity, especially in species characteristic of standing waters.

The Pisidiidae have representatives in virtually all types of freshwater habitats, from temporary ponds and roadside ditches to the deep, cold profundal zones of oligotrophic and eutrophic lakes. A review of the studies reported to date suggests that there are peculiarities in the structure, composition and morphology of the shell, and in the anatomy of the gills, siphons and byssal apparatus, as well as in the physiologies and ecologies of many species that have made the Pisidiidae one of the most common and widely distributed groups of freshwater invertebrates in all parts of the world.

Mackie, G. L. 1987. Effects of acidifying environments on freshwater mollusks in southern Ontario, Canada. American Malacological Bulletin 5(1):31 39.

Laboratory and field studies on freshwater Mollusca in several low alkalinity lakes of south central Ontario indicate that neither the hydrogen ion concentration nor the metal (cadmium, lead, aluminum) concentrations in the lake are lethal as independent of joint toxicity factors. However, changes in the calcareous composition of the shell and changes in shell morphometry can be related to low alkalinity and/or pH of the environment. These changes are accompanied by a decreased growth and reproduction that have depressed the production and species diversity of the molluscan communities. As lakes acidify, the epifaunal grazers (gastropods) in the molluscan community are replaced by infaunal filter feeders (Pisidiidae). The molluscs can play an important role in the sources and cycling of carbonates in acidifying environments. Corbicula fluminea shell, which lacks several layers of conchiolin, dissolve more readily in acidic waters and may act as a buffer.

Reduced flow in small safety grade lube oil coolers was found to be caused by accumulations of Corbicula sp. in the service water supply lines. Installation of conventional, nuclear grade strainers was the preferred solution, but the twelve month delivery schedule on vendor designed nuclear components forced consideration of other means of obtaining strainers. In response, Arkansas Power and Light Company contracted qualified consultants and welders to design and fabricate "clam traps" from standard piping components. Strainers were completed within nine months and installed during the next refueling outage. These strainers were designed with provisions for periodic flushing and cleaning as well as passive removal of clams and debris. This design with plant specific modifications may be applied to other utilities with similar problems.

Magoulick, D. D. and L. C. Lewis. 2002. Predation on exotic zebra mussels by native fishes: effects on predator and prey. Freshwater Biology 47(10):1908-1918.

Exotic zebra mussels, Dreissena polymorpha, occur in southern U.S.waterways in high densities, but little is known about the interaction between native fish predators and zebra mussels. Previous studies have suggested that exotic zebra mussels are low profitability prey items and native vertebrate predators are unlikely to reduce zebra mussel densities. These hypotheses were tested by observing prey use of fishes, determining energy content of primary prey species of fishes, and conducting predator exclusion experiments in Lake Dardanelle, Arkansas. Zebra mussels were the primary prey eaten by 52.9% of blue catfish, Ictalurus furcatus; 48.2% of freshwater drum, Aplodinotus grunniens; and 100% of adult redear sunfish, Lepomis microlophus. Blue catfish showed distinct seasonal prey shifts, feeding on zebra mussels in summer and shad, Dorosoma spp., during winter. Energy content (joules g^-1) of blue catfish prey (threadfin shad, Dorosoma petenense; gizzard shad, D. cepedianum; zebra mussels; and Asiatic clams, Corbicula fluminea) showed a significant species by season interaction, but shad were always significantly greater in energy content than bivalves examined as either ash-free dry mass or whole organism dry mass. Fish predators significantly reduced densities of large zebra mussels (>5 mm length) colonizing clay tiles in the summers of 1997 and 1998, but predation effects on small zebra mussels ( ≤5 mm length) were less clear. Freshwater drum and red ear sunfish process bivalve prey by crushing shells and obtain low amounts of higher-energy food (only the flesh), whereas blue catfish lack a shell-crushing apparatus and ingest large amounts of low-energy food per unit time (bivalves with their shells). Blue catfish appeared to select the abundant zebra mussel over the more energetically rich shad during summer, then shifted to shad during winter when shad experienced temperature-dependent stress and mortality. Native fish predators can suppress adult zebra mussel colonisation, but are ultimately unlikely to limit population density because of zebra mussel reproductive potential.

Freshwater bivalves, Corbicula striatella were exposed to acute and chronic doses of copper sulphate and mercuric chloride with and without ascorbic acid. Protein contents from mantle, foot, gill, gonad and digestive glands were estimated. Depletion in protein contents in different tissues caused due to heavy metal stress was much more as compared to those exposed with ascorbic acid and heavy metals.

On the basis of size-weight and age composition of catches of the most important commercial fish of the Kayrakkuma water storage basin (Tadzhik SSR, USSR), an analysis of stocks and migration routes is presented. Abramis brama, Pelecus cultratus, Rutilus rutilus aralensis and Capoetobrama kuschakewitschi are emphasized. An increase in fattening of certain species of fish was noted after settling of Mysidae in 1963. The prognosis for reserves over the next 5 yr is given. the primary measures for ensuring the indicated growth of the fish productivity of the reservoir should be: prevention of catching young valuable fish with an enclosed structure; acclimatization in the water storage basin of crustacea (e.g., Cumacea) mollusks (Monodacna, Corbicula, etc.) and fish (Chalcalburnus chalcoides and possibly Ictiobus cyprinellus); selective catching of unprotected species of fish in the shallow upper reaches of the water storage basin; and introduction of new instruments and fishing methods.

Two populations of Corbicula japonica were studied on the shore of the Sea of Japan. The age size structure of alive and dead units of the population was analyzed as well as statistical parameters of linear growth. The shells from populations of Mramoruoe and Duchovskoe lakes are heterogenous; two groups of characteristic relations between length and height of the shells were noted. The periodical fluctuations of salinity may cause this subdivision.

A survey of mussel fauna within the Taim Ecological Station and surrounding area located at the plain coast between the Atlantic Ocean and Mirim Lagoon, extreme South Brazil, was conducted from October 1985 to January 1987. Thirteen native species and the asiatic clam Corbicula fluminea were recorded; nine reported for the first time for the Station and five for the Mirim Lagoon basin. The habitat preference of each species is described, as well as the variability concerning Unionoida shell forms of a same clam species inhabiting adjacent lagoons and also between the population of the Taim and those of others neighboring basins in the Uruguay and those in the Guaiba and Patos Lagoon, in South Brazil.

Biociencias 2(1):27-45. [Portuguese with English summary]

From March 1989 until April 1990, qualitative and quantitative surveys on freshwater bivalve molluscs were carried out on a dam and the outlet channel, a small tributary from Cai River at Parque de Protecao Ambiental Copesul, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Physical and chemical conditions of the water and the sediment granulometry of the dam were investigated in order to characterize the habitat preferences of the mollusks species. The survey revealed the presence of 3 species of Veneroida: 1 Corbiculidae and 2 Sphaeriidae in the dam and 2 species of Veneroida: 1 Sphaeriidae, 1 Corbiculidae and 7 species of Unionoida: 2 Hyriidae and 5 Mycetopodidae in the channel. The introduced Asiatic clam Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) reached a maximal population density of 4173 i/m² in the channel. It is also the predominant species in the dam with a maximal population density of 2752 i/m² and it showed a marked preference for well oxygenated waters, presence of sand and shallow waters. Eupera klappenbachi Mansur and Veitenheimer, 1975, reached a maximal population density of 2948 i/m² fixed at the roots of marginal grass of the dam. Pisidium punctiferum (Guppy, 1867) occurred only in the dam and reached the highest population density of 1021 i/m² at a higher depth than Corbicula which probably established a space competition with Pisidium in lower depths. The following species are reported for the first time to Cai River basin: Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774), Castalia martensi (Ihering, 1891), Monocondylaea minuana Orbigny, 1835, Andontites iheringi (Clessin, 1882), A. trapezeus (Spix, 1827) and A. trapesialis (Lamarck, 1819).

March, P. C. and C. R. Stinemetz. 1983. Benthic invertebrates of the earthen Coachella Canal, California. California Fish and Game 69(2):77-83.

At least 19 taxa of invertebrates inhabited the Coachella Canal, California, in October-November 1980. Dominants were Asiatic clam, Corbicula fluminea; a hydropsychid caddisfly, Smicridea utico; oligochaetes, Aelosoma sp. and Chaetogaster sp.; and chironomid dipeterans. Mean densities were from 158 to 3,678 individuals/m², and biomass was 2.02 to 7.63 g dry wt/ m² in mid-channel and near-shore habitats, respectively. Invertebrate distributions reflected substrate size and stability, and the presence of organic matter. Concrete structures supported populations of S. utico) and lepidopteran larvae, Paragyractis confusalis, of 25,000 and 1,500/ m², respectively, far greater than densities of any invertebrate on natural substrates.

Ictalurus punctatus (75   414 mm total length) in the Coachella Canal, California, fed primarily upon Trichoptera (Smicridea utico, Nectopsyche sp.), Odonata, filamentous algae, chironomids and aquatic Lepidoptera (Paragyractis confusalis). The high use of Lepidoptera larvae is unreported. Threadfin shad (Dorosoma petense) and Corbicula fluminea, although locally abundant, were not primary food items. These results emphasize the omnivorous, opportunistic nature of channel catfish feeding habits.

Marsh, P. C. 1985. Secondary production of the introduced Asiatic clam, Corbicula fluminea, in a central Arizona canal. Hydrobiologia 124(2):103 110.

Corbicula fluminea is often a serious pest where introduced and established outside its native range. This includes many canals of the southwestern United States. Because of its potential role in organic matter processing, nutrient dynamics, and sedimentation, the clam is an important component of the benthic community and of the aquatic ecosystems which it inhabits. To better understand the ecology of C. fluminea in canals, secondary production and life history of an introduced population of clams in a small, earthen canal in the Phoenix metropolitan area, central Arizona, were studied over a 12 month period in 1981   1982. Clams had a monthly mean density of 2,255 m ², single annual spawning, 2 yr life span, and overlapping cohorts. Annual secondary production (site frequency method) was 25.62 g dry mass (DM) m ² and cohort production (composite Allen curve) was 29.32 DM m ², with turnover ratios of 2.70 and 5.81, respectively. These are among the highest known single species estimates for molluscs, and illustrate the importance of clams in these unique southwestern aquatic systems.

Marshall, B. E. 1975. Observations on the freshwater mussels (Lamellibranchia: Unionacea) of Lake McIlwaine, Rhodesia. Arnoldia 7(16):1 16.

Five lamellibranch species were stranded on the exposed mud around Lake McIlwaine when the lake dropped to its lowest level in 1973. Mutela madili was the commonest species, followed by Unio mossambicensis. Corbicula africana was less numerous while one specimen only of Unio caffer and Aspataria wahlbergi was found. These species appear to be essentially riverine animals as their greatest densities and largest individuals occurred in the Hunyani River section of the lake. Mutela had three length frequency modes, suggesting different age classes but not enough is known of growth and aging in this species to establish this with any certainty.
