Why is brook floater rare? Synthesizing potential threats to a freshwater mussel’s persistence. Freshwater mussels are in many rivers and ponds throughout Massachusetts and species presence varies by habitat and dispersal while a parasite on their host fish.  One mussel, the brook floater, continues to decline in abundance relative to the species it co-occurs with, and in Massachusetts, some populations within rivers are already lost.

This presentation will synthesize potential causes behind brook floater loss in the number of populations and decline in abundance.
