The Conservation Biology of Freshwater Mussels and Their Usefulness as Bioindicators
Large freshwater mussels are excellent indicators of water quality. Not only do they filter and purify the water, but mussel beds on the bottoms also provide structure and shelter for many other organisms, contributing to increased biodiversity. Our research aims to study the ecology of large freshwater mussels and utilise them as indicators for environmental and conservation efforts in lakes and waterways.
