Evaluating the ecological benefits and risks of an experimental kidneyshell (Ptychobranchus fasciolaris) reintroduction in Ontario / Todd J. Morris, Kelly A. McNichols-O’Rourke, Jason M. Barnucz, Karl...Fs97-4/3332E-PDF

"Reintroduction is recognized as an approach to support the persistence and recovery of species listed under the Species at Risk Act (SARA), but it has yet to be used for freshwater mussels in Canada. Kidneyshell (Ptychobranchus fasciolaris) has experienced extensive contraction of its range in southern Ontario, with extirpation from several historically occupied river systems. A captive-reared cohort of Kidneyshell, propagated by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources at White Lake Fish Culture Station in 2015 from Sydenham River broodstock, now presents a time-sensitive opportunity for reintroduction rather than continued long-term maintenance in captivity"--Abstract, page x.
