Experimental quantification of multiple point-source pollution effects on juvenile freshwater mussels in a stream exposure gradient
Original language description
Population declines in freshwater mussels (Unionida) resulting from failed recruitment, together with episodic water pollution potentially leading to juvenile mussel mortality, are often suspected (but rarely well documented), even in the most strictly protected aquatic areas. The aim of this study was to test a robust design for an in situ investigation of the water pollution effects on juvenile freshwater pearl mussel (FPM, Margaritifera margaritifera) in the protected Malse River (Czech Republic), which acts as a model system. A 30 km river reach was delineated to include a section with previously recorded episodic multiple point source pollution events, as well as downstream and upstream control sections. Juvenile FPMs in open water mesh cages were exposed to river water at 15 sites in 42 exposure units (342 juveniles in individual chambers), and their survival and shell growth were assessed after a 33 day period of low flow and high temperature conditions. The main physicochemical indicators re
