Detailed Description

Images of some of the physiological and reproductive endpoints used to evaluate the effects of the lampricide TFM:1%Niclosamide to the pocketbook mussel: (a) degree of foot extension, (b) filtering activity, (c) release of packets of glochidial larvae, and (d) degree of mantle lure extension to attract host fish.

A. Degree of foot extension as a test endpoint in evaluating the effects of TFM:1% Niclosamide on pocketbook mussels

B.  Filtration as a test endpoint in evaluating the effects of TFM:1% Niclosamide on pocketbook mussels

C.  Release of glochidia larvae as a test endpoint in evaluating the effects of TFM:1% Niclosamide on pocketbook mussels

D. Degree of mantle lure extension as a test endpoint in evaluating the effects of TFM:1% Niclosamide on pocketbook mussels

Exposure of mussels to lampricides often has a narcotizing effect, including extending their foot for long periods of time.

Potential reproductive effects of the lampricides TFM and TFM:1% Niclosamide on native freshwater mussels

Conservation and Restoration of Native Freshwater Mussels There has been growing concern by Federal and State agencies in recent years over the risk that lampricide applications may have on non-target organisms. Due to their highly imperiled status, sedentary behavior, and bottom dwelling nature, native freshwater mussels are a group of organisms that may be adversely affected by lampricides...
