Save the Eels, Save the Mussels
The USGS Northern Appalachian Research Laboratory is a science research facility located in Asaph, PA. One of the primary researcher questions that we have been addressing for the last 10 years is the decline of freshwater mussels, with particularly focus on the eastern elliptio mussel in Pine Creek and throughout the Susquehanna River Basin. The United States is home to nearly 300 species of freshwater mussels that can be found in streams, river, and lakes. Mussels are important to our stream ecosystems for a variety of reasons. They are filter feeders, meaning they reside at the bottom of the river and filter particles (like sediment and algae) out of the water. Because mussels are often found in dense beds with 10’s of thousands of individuals living together, their filtration can be important for maintaining stream water quality. They also provide habitat to other aquatic species (algae and bugs) that serve as the base of the food web for many stream fish.
