  • Banded & Chinese Mystery Snails Invade the South Nation River
    BANDED & CHINESE MYSTERY SNAILS INVADE THE SOUTH NATION RIVER ABSTRACT From the onset of our monitoring of the molluscan fauna of the South Nation River in 1995, until 2010 the Viviparidae were represented only by the native Campeloma decisum (Brown M.S.). In 2010 South Nation Conservation staff found Cipangopaludina chinensis (Chinese M.S.) in Henderson Creek in Winchester and two summers of ‘Mystery Snail One juvenile among abundant Helisoma Snagaroos’ removed thousands of snails from the creek. In 2012 we found Viviparus campanulatum out on muddy floor of open water Bags of invasive Chinese Mystery ‘georgianus’ (Banded M.S.) in the Castor River at Russell, and then in 2016 a few in the Snails main river downstream of there at High Falls. Amie Ivany found another population of C. chinensis in Hess Creek in 2017, where the shells were mostly broken as if predated. Our monitoring has been sporadic, but we’re encouraging closer attention, especially to the signs of predation by Mammals. Fred Schueler & Aleta Karstad, Fragile Inheritance Natural History, Bishops Mills, ON, Canada. Email: [email protected] First records of the Chinese Mystery Snail, Cipangopaludina chinensis, in the South Nation drainage Said to have been introduced to California as a food species, and now spread by aquarium dumps and on launched boats, this big dark snail has been known from the Rideau River near Carleton University. and is being discovered upstream along the Ottawa River to Mattawa, and in North Bay & Blind River. July 2010 – an SNC team found abundant Cipangopaludina in Henderson Creek, a drain in downtown Winchester.

  • Management Plan for the River Redhorse (Moxostoma Carinatum) in Canada
    PROPOSED Species at Risk Act Management Plan Series Management Plan for the River Redhorse (Moxostoma carinatum) in Canada River Redhorse 2016 About the Species at Risk Act Management Plan Series What is the Species at Risk Act (SARA)? SARA is the Act developed by the federal government as a key contribution to the common national effort to protect and conserve species at risk in Canada. SARA came into force in 2003, and one of its purposes is “to manage species of special concern to prevent them from becoming endangered or threatened.” What is a species of special concern? Under SARA, a species of special concern is a wildlife species that could become threatened or endangered because of a combination of biological characteristics and identified threats. Species of special concern are included in the SARA List of Wildlife Species at Risk. What is a management plan? Under SARA, a management plan is an action-oriented planning document that identifies the conservation activities and land use measures needed to ensure, at a minimum, that a species of special concern does not become threatened or endangered. For many species, the ultimate aim of the management plan will be to alleviate human threats and remove the species from the List of Wildlife Species at Risk. The plan sets goals and objectives, identifies threats, and indicates the main areas of activities to be undertaken to address those threats. Management plan development is mandated under Sections 65–72 of SARA. A management plan has to be developed within three years after the species is added to the List of Wildlife Species at Risk.
