| Notes | 2nd edition. Freshwater mussels are among the most endangered animals on earth. Over 70% of all freshwater mussel species in North America are considered threatened or endangered, and 35 species are believed to be extinct. Freshwater mussels serve as important bioindicators, being sensitive to stream temperatures, dissolved oxygen, sedimentation and pollution. This valuable guide will aid in awareness of the value of these species, as well as in identification. |
