Management plan for the wavyrayed lampmussel (Lampsilis fasciola) in Canada .En3-5/83-2017E-PDF

"The Wavyrayed Lampmussel is a sexually dimorphic, medium-sized freshwater mussel (75-100 mm long) that is easily distinguished from other mussels by its yellow or yellowish-green, rounded shell with numerous thin wavy green rays. The Canadian distribution is restricted to southern Ontario; the species is currently found in the St. Clair River delta and the Ausable, Grand, Maitland, Sydenham, and Thames rivers. The objective (>20 years) of this management plan is to ensure the long-term persistence of Wavyrayed Lampmussel throughout its current range by maintaining or enhancing self-sustaining populations, and restoring degraded populations through habitat improvement initiatives where feasible"--Executive summary, p. iii.
