Assessment of freshwater mussels in the Allegheny River at Foxburg, Pennsylvania, 1998
Robert M. Anderson
2000, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2000-4058
The upper reaches of the Allegheny River are a high-quality resource that supports populations of a number of endangered species. Two endangered species of freshwater mussel, the northern riffleshell, Epioblasma torulosa rangiana, and clubshell, Pleurobema clava, are present in this river reach. Prior to a bridge-replacement project at the Allegheny...
