Shinyrayed Pocketbook (Mussel) Shinyrayed pocketbook (mussel) Lampsilis subangulata Taxonomic Classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Class: Bivalvia Order: Unionoida Family: Unionidae Genus/Species: Lampsilis subangulata Common Name: Shinyrayed pocketbook Listing Status Federal Status: Endangered FL Status: Federally-designated Endangered FNAI Ranks: G2/S1S2 (Globally: Imperiled/ State: Insufficient data to assign a rank, but ranges from Imperiled to Critically Imperiled) IUCN Status: Not ranked Physical Description The shinyrayed pocketbook is a mid-sized fresh water mussel that can reach a length of 3.3 inches (8.5 centimeters). This species has a smooth, elliptical shaped shell that is yellowish- brown with green rays on the outer shell and a white inner shell. The left valve has two large teeth and the right valve has one large, flattened tooth (University of Georgia 2008, Florida Natural Areas Inventory 2001). Life History The shinyrayed pocketbook is a filter feeder – filters food from the water, such as plankton and detritus (dead organic matter). Males release sperm in rivers with low to moderate currents and the females will receive the sperm through a siphon. Eggs are fertilized in the female’s shell and the glochidia (larvae) release into the water when mature. Glochidia are released from late May through mid July Shinyrayed Pocketbook Mussel 1 | Page when the water temperature ranges from 68°F-74.3°F (20-23.5°C). To attract host fish, the shinyrayed pocketbook produces a long rope of glochidia (larvae) called a superconglutinate . Its resemblance to a fish attracts the host fish to eat the superconglutinate, which allows the glochidia to attach to the fish’s gills. The largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) and spotted bass (Micropterus punctulatus) are the primary hosts for the shinyrayed pocketbook (University of Georgia 2008). When the larvae metamorphose into juvenile mussels they release from the fish and settle into their primary habitat. Habitat & Distribution Shinyrayed pocketbooks inhabit mid- sized rivers and creeks with a clear or sandy silt floor. This species can be found in the Apalachicola, Chipola and Ochlockonee rivers in Florida, while also being found in the Chattahoochee, Flint, and Ochlockonee rivers in Georgia (Florida Natural Areas Inventory 2001). Threats Freshwater mussels face a host of threats due to an increased human population and development. The main threat to freshwater mussels is the impounding of waterways. Waterways are impounded for fresh water supply, flood control, and hydropower. Impounding waterways causes the water current’s velocity to decrease, causing sediment to build up in the river and covering the mussels. Impoundments also cause habitat fragmentation, which separates mussel populations and also individual mussels from algae and host fish (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service 2006). River dredging also threatens to destroy fresh water mussel populations on the river floors. The Asian clam (Corbicula fluminea), an invasive species, can out-compete the shinyrayed pocketbook for resources in its habitat (Florida Natural Areas Inventory 2001). Pesticide and chemical pollution poses a significant threat to mussels since they are filter feeders and may ingest chemicals directly from their habitat. Conservation & Management The shinyrayed pocketbook is protected as an Endangered species by the Federal Endangered Species Act and as a Federally-designated Endangered species by Florida’s Endangered and Threatened Species Rule. It is one of the target species in a 7-species Federal Recovery Plan. Specific actions needed to recover the species include (USFWS 2003): • Secure extant subpopulations and currently occupied habitats and ensure subpopulation viability. Shinyrayed Pocketbook Mussel 2 | Page • Search for additional subpopulations of the species and suitable habitat. • Determine through research and propagation technology the feasibility of augmenting extant subpopulations and reintroducing or reestablishing the species into historical habitat. • Develop and implement a program to evaluate efforts and monitor subpopulation levels and habitat conditions of existing subpopulations, as well as newly discovered, reintroduced, or expanding subpopulations. • Develop and utilize a public outreach and environmental education program. • Assess the overall success of the recovery program and recommend actions.

These analyses were used to predict impaired stream sites that may impede a healthy natural riverine community. The analyses also revealed differences between sites that currently support and those that have ceased to support mus- sel populations. We estimated risk scores for the riverine community based on water and sediment characteristics. To identify and rank habitat in need of restoration, the risk estimation was derived by comparing collected data to water quality standards, sediment quality guidelines and toxicity test controls. High-risk scores often coincided with areas that no longer support historical freshwater mussel populations. Based on the data collected, factors thought to impede the existence of a natural riverine community included: sediment toxicity (porewater and whole sediment), sediment lead, sediment manganese, sediment ammonia, and low dissolved oxygen.

    Chipola slabshell (mussel) Elliptio chiplolaensis Taxonomic Classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Class: Bivalvia Order: Unionoida Family: Unionidae Genus/Species: Elliptio chiplolaensis Common Name: Chipola slabshell Listing Status Federal Status: Threatened FL Status: Federally-designated Threatened FNAI Ranks: G1/S1 (Critically Imperiled) IUCN Status: EN (Endangered) Physical Description The Chipola slabshell is a midsized freshwater mussel that can reach a length of 3.3 inches (8.5 centimeters). This species is oval shaped with a reddish-brown outer shell, sometimes surrounded with dark and light bands, and a reddish-yellow inner shell (University of Georgia 2008). Life History The Chipola slabshell is a filter feeder (filters food out of water) and their diet primarily consists of plankton and detritus (dead organic matter). Due to its rarity, little is known about the life history of the Chipola slabshell. It is believed that males release sperm in the water and the female receives the sperm through its siphon. Eggs are fertilized in the female’s shell and the glochidia (larvae) release into the water. The larvae attach to the gills or fins of a host fish to develop. When the larvae metamorphose into juvenile mussels, they release from the fish and settle in their primary habitat. Chipola Slabshell Mussel 1 | Page Habitat & Distribution The Chipola slabshell inhabits slow to medium current rivers with a sand and silt floor (Bogan 2000). This species is found only in the Chipola River in northwest Florida. Threats Freshwater mussels face a host of threats due to an increased human population, pollution, and development. The main threat is the impoundment of fresh waterways.

We recognize a total of 298 species in 55 genera in the families Margaritiferidae (one genus, five species) and Unionidae (54 genera, 293 species). We propose one change in the Margaritiferidae: the placement of the formerly monotypic genus Cumberlandia in the synonymy of Margaritifera. In the Unionidae, we recognize three new genera, elevate four genera from synonymy, and place three previously recognized genera in synonymy.
