  • 10 896 Zanatta 6.Indd
    2011 NORTHEASTERN NATURALIST 18(1):1–6 Confi rmation of Obovaria olivaria, Hickorynut Mussel (Bivalvia: Unionidae), in the Mississagi River, Ontario, Canada David T. Zanatta1,* and Daelyn A. Woolnough1 Abstract - A signifi cant and recruiting population of Obovaria olivaria (Hickorynut Mussel) was confi rmed in the Mississagi River, Lake Huron drainage, ON, Canada. This large river unionid mussel is known to use Acipenser fulvescens (Lake Sturgeon) and Scaphirhynchus platorynchus (Shovelnose Sturgeon) as hosts. The Mississagi River is known to have a spawning Lake Sturgeon population. In 9.1 person-hours of snorkel and SCUBA searches, 10 live O. olivaria ranging in length from 36 to 79 mm, including six gravid females, were collected in sandy substrates with water depths from 1.5 to 4 m. Obovaria olivaria in the Mississagi River represent a signifi cant range disjunction from the other extant populations in Canada in the Ottawa and St. Lawrence river drainages. As the conservation status of this rare mussel in Canada is assessed, the geographic genetic population structure and spatial extent among known areas should be studied to under- stand the post-glacial redistribution of the species. Introduction Obovaria olivaria (Rafi nesque) (Hickorynut Mussel), is a deepwater, large river unionid that can be abundant in the Mississippi basin of central North Amer- ica (Parmalee and Bogan 1998, Williams et al. 2008). In contrast, O. olivaria is a rare mussel in the St. Lawrence River and Great Lakes watershed of central North America (Clarke 1981, Metcalfe-Smith et al. 2005, NatureServe 2009) and is cur- rently under assessment by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC).

As you know this is NOT a City of Kawartha Lakes municipal trail. This is a 44-kilometre trail that is solely maintained and paid for by volunteers and donors like you. Our energy for continuing this work is strong. We are filled with BIG ideas for enhancing our trail and constantly looking for our “next step” to enrich the lives of trail users as they travel along the trail. Al MacPherson Your generosity has brought us such a great distance since 2007—will you continue to help our President, Kawartha Trans organization? We are strong because of your financial support. We are looking to the future with Canada Trail Association BIG dreams for trail users—your help plays a BIG part in our ability to make our trail the best trail (KTCTA) in the entire Trans Canada Trail system forming part of the longest trail in the world.
