This research investigates bivalves as bioindicators of river health and on the potential to introduce mussels into man made habitats. The impact of toxicants on reproduction and development of bivalves is being examined. The main aims are to determine if the bioaccumulation and reproductive responses of bivalves can be used as monitoring tools to assess the health of freshwater systems and to determination if created habitats can support mussel populations for their conservation. |
