Abstract

Reintroduction of native freshwater mussels following aquatic habitat restoration is an increasingly used conservation practice to establish self-sustaining populations. Despite the common use of hatchery-grown subadult mussels (<40mm) for reintroduction efforts, their physical habitat requirements as well as guidance on identifying suitable release locations for different mussel species and sizes are severely lacking. We addressed this knowledge gap by deploying three-dimensional (3D)-printed subadult mussels equipped with scannable tags in a river as a proxy for hard-to-track live subadult mussels. We tracked mobilization, displacement and resettlement of 3D-printed and live freshwater mussels at five sites in the Mission Reach of the San Antonio River, Texas, USA, over two years. We found mobilization increased at higher discharges, smaller mussels mobilized at lower flows than adult mussels, site-specific geomorphic features reduced displacement distances, and boulder fields, or habitats with large stable roughness elements, resettled mussels at the highest rate. The study methods and results can directly inform freshwater mussel reintroduction efforts and river restoration project designs that include mussel habitats.

This work was funded by the US Army Corps of Engineers’ Aquatic Nuisance Species Research Program’s focus on Next Generation Ecological Modeling.

This resource has three folders and one file of data used for the analyses within the manuscript, "Assessing suitable habitat for freshwater mussel reintroductions using 3D-printed subadult replicates."
Folder/File Descriptions:
[Scan_Data_Processed.csv] - csv file with all processed scan data including the final mobilization categories after the analysis outlined in the "Mark-Recapture Data Proprocessing" section of the Methods.
[Bathymetry_Data] - subfolders named by year with files named by date (MMYYYY) each containing all bathymtery data collected on given date. For 2022, each sheet within an excel file is a different cross section. For 2023, each sheet within an excel file is a different study site. 
[Sediment_Sample_Data] - two excel files each containing the results of all seive analyses completed during the study year.
[Habitat_Type_Shp] - delineated habitat types of all sites combined in a shape file with supporting files. The layer contains a field called 'Type' that divides the polygons into habitat types.
