Thermal Threats to Freshwater Mussels: An Empirical Stream Assessment
DIVERSITY-BASEL, 16(1).
author keywords: Unionidae; climate change; global change; thermal buffer; fish; temperature; substrate; exceedance; species richness
TL;DR:
Fish species richness was related to the thermal regime, indicating that species interactions may be an important driver of freshwater mussel responses to global change, and models estimating the relation between the water column and substrate temperatures more realistically characterize ambient temperature exposures more realistically characterize ambient temperature exposures.

Assessing the Toxicity of Sea Salt to Early Life Stages of Freshwater Mussels: Implications for Sea Level Rise in Coastal Rivers
Mciver II, J. K., Cope, W. G., Bringolf, R. B., Kwak, T. J., Watson, B., Maynard, A., & Mair, R. (2023, September 20). ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY, Vol. 9.
author keywords: Sea salt toxicity; Climate change; Freshwater mussel; Median effect concentration (EC50); Acute toxicity; Salinization
TL;DR:
The results show that acute exposure to sea salt adversely affects freshwater mussels viability, particularly glochidia, and this information can be used to enhance freshwater mussel conservation strategies in regions that are or will be impacted by climate‐induced sea level rise and associated freshwater salinization.

TL;DR:
The relative risk associated with acute exposure of early life stages of mussels to technical‐grade atrazine, pendimethalin, fipronil, and permethrin is likely low; however, survival and growth results with juvenile L. siliquoidea indicate that chronic exposure to high concentrations (≥3.8 mg/L) of atrazin may have the potential to impact mussel populations and warrants further investigation.

Water quality guidance for protection of freshwater mussels (Unionidae) from ammonia exposure
ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY, 22(11), 2569–2575.
author keywords: ammonia; Unionidae; freshwater mussels; water quality criteria
MeSH headings : Ammonia / standards; Ammonia / toxicity; Animals; Bivalvia; Conservation of Natural Resources; Environment; Guidelines as Topic; Hydrogen-Ion Concentration; Lethal Dose 50; Risk Assessment; United States; United States Environmental Protection Agency; Water Pollutants / standards; Water Pollutants / toxicity
TL;DR:
Two estimates of acute exposure water quality guidance for the protection of freshwater mussels (CMC(FM) and CCC( FM) are derived by a recalculation of the CMC after adding freshwater mussel GMAVs to the U.S. EPA data set.

Acetylcholinesterase inhibition in the threeridge mussel (Amblema plicata) by chlorpyrifos: Implications for biomonitoring
ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY, 49(1), 91–98.
author keywords: acetylcholinesterase; chlorpyrifos; mussel; unionidae; biomonitoring
MeSH headings : Acetylcholinesterase / analysis; Acetylcholinesterase / metabolism; Animals; Biological Assay / methods; Bivalvia / enzymology; Chlorpyrifos / adverse effects; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Environmental Monitoring / methods; Insecticides / adverse effects; Reference Values; Time Factors
TL;DR:
Overall changes in AChE activity of mussels during the test were unrelated to individual chlorpyrifos concentrations and exposure times (repeated measure ANOVA; P=0.06), and a power analysis revealed that the sample size must be increased from 2 to 5 replicates to increase the probability of detecting significant differences in A ChE activity.

Environmental Toxicology, 15(1), 23–27.
author keywords: whole sediment toxicity; porewater toxicity test; fingernail clam; musculium transversum; macroinvertbrate; water column; sediment
TL;DR:
Fingernail clams may provide an alternative species for evaluating benthic macroinvertebrates in short‐term laboratory porewater tests, but more information on their physiological requirements and the development of sublethal endpoints is recommended before their use in tests of longer duration.

Effects of cadmium-spiked sediment on cadmium accumulation and bioturbation by nymphs of the burrowing mayfly Hexagenia bilineata
WATER AIR AND SOIL POLLUTION, 109(1-4), 277–292.
author keywords: accumulation; bioturbation; cadmium; Hexagenia; mayfly; spiked sediment
TL;DR:
Concentrations of Cd in unfiltered, overlying test water increased significantly within treatments during the test, indicating that nymphs mobilized sediment-associated Cd into the overlying water, presumably through burrowing and respiratory activities.

TL;DR:
Potassium chloride, Bayluscide, and Clamtrol CT-1 (a poly quaternary ammonium compound) were the most selective chemicals tested against zebra mussels, and most of the remaining chemicals lacked the desired toxicity or were more toxic to fish than to zebra Mussels.
