Book excerpt: "Under the Species at Risk Act, Fisheries and Oceans Canada is responsible for the management of aquatic species at risk including freshwater mussels. Adaptive and responsive species management requires robust survey methods to answer management questions. To date, most of the survey method guidelines to monitor freshwater mussels in Canada have been developed for wadeable streams. However, there is a need to develop deep-water survey guidelines and protocols to ensure adequate protection for mussel species found in deep, turbid environments. This report summarizes the results from a literature review of freshwater mussel (Bivalvia: Unionidae) sampling methods and techniques used in deep, turbid, or high-flow environments. In total, 110 sources from primary and grey literature were reviewed"--Abstract, page iv.
