Freshwater mussels are declining rapidly worldwide. Propagation has
the potential to restore numbers of these remarkable organisms,
preventing extinction of rare species and maintaining the many
benefits that they bring to aquatic ecosystems. Written by
practitioners with firsthand experience of propagation programs,
this practical book is a thorough guide to the subject, taking
readers through the process from start to finish. The latest
propagation and culture techniques are explored as readers follow
freshwater mussels through their amazing and complex life cycle.
Topics covered include the basics of building a culture facility,
collecting and maintaining brood stock, collecting host species,
infesting host species with larval mussels, collecting and
culturing juvenile mussels, releasing juveniles to the wild, and
post-release monitoring. This will be valuable reading for any
biologist interested in the conservation of freshwater mussel
populations.
