Within-river variation in growth and survival of juvenile freshwater pearl mussels assessed by in situ exposure methods
Original language description
The early post-parasitic phase is considered to be the most vulnerable life stage of the endangered freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera), yet little is known about the spatial variability in juvenile performance at a river scale. The main aim of this study was to determine within-river variation in habitat suitability for juvenile M. margaritifera. The growth and survival rates of juveniles (one and two year old) were measured in the Vltava River (Czech Republic) in relation to several physical and chemical variables using a total of 166 bioindication units (individual mesh cages and sandy boxes) during two thermally different vegetation seasons. Three spatial scales were studied: a longitudinal river profile, bottom habitat types, and hyporheic microhabitats. Both the survival rate and growth of the exposed juveniles varied considerably within the studied river. The effect of the longitudinal river profile and the roles of temperature, oxygenation within microhabitats, episodic poll
