Vaughn Oklahoma Biological Survey and Department of Biology, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK 73019 Abstract: Fishes and mussels are prominent organisms in streams of eastern North America. Fish communities have large effects on mussel communities because mussels disperse as ectoparasitic larvae on fish hosts. Mussel communities influence the abundance and composition of algae and macroinvertebrates in streams by providing shell habitat and nutrient subsidies from their excreta, possibly influencing fish communities through these same mechanisms. To begin addressing this question, we asked if fish composition varied on and off mussel beds in the Kiamichi River in Southeastern Oklahoma. We also asked how any observed variation in fish composition between mussel and non-mussel sites was related to fish feeding and nesting traits. We quantitatively sampled 10 sites in summer 2013, including five with and five without large mussel beds. We found no significant differences in fish abundance, richness, or feeding guilds between mussel and non-mussel sites. However, mussel sites had a significantly higher proportion of nest building fish than non- mussel sites. Our study was limited by sample size, methodology and timing. To robustly address the question of whether mussel communities influence fish communities, we encourage further work that samples more sites, employs a variety of sampling methods, and includes behavioral observations. mussels in turn might influence the composition and abundance of fish communities. There is Introduction anecdotal evidence that fish prefer sections of experimental tanks with mussels more than Freshwater fishes and mussels (Bivalvia: areas without mussels (Moy and Sparks 1991). Unionidae) are dominant consumers in streams Recently, American shad (Alosa sapidissima) of eastern North America. Adult mussels are have been found to deposit eggs in the body sedentary and mussel dispersal occurs largely cavities of mussels (Wisniewski et al. 2013) and through the movement of mussel larvae,
