A survey of freshwater mussels (Unionidae) in eastern Ontario (South Nation River, Lyn Creek, and Jones Creek) in 2009 / by M.N. Sheldon and T.J. Morris. : Fs97-4/3155E-PDF
"Timed-search surveys were completed at five sites on the South Nation River (SNR), one site on Lyn Creek and one site on Jones Creek by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) in 2009. These surveys aimed to augment or determine information regarding the freshwater mussel populations in these three waterbodies as DFO had not previously surveyed these rivers. A total of 1230 live individuals were observed across the three waterbodies, representing nine species including one Species at Risk (SAR). Elliptio complanata was the most abundant species (758 individuals) in the SNR occurring at 80% of sites. Lampsilis radiata was the most abundant species (175 individuals) in Lyn Creek and ten endangered Ligumia nasuta were also observed in this waterbody, representing the only SAR observation during the Eastern Ontario surveys. Elliptio complanata (8 individuals) was the only species found in Jones Creek. DFO succeeded in strengthening mussel species inventory records in the SNR and Lyn Creek as well as generating baseline data for the relatively under-studied Jones Creek"--Abstract, p. v.
