Habitat, Morphometric, and Augmentation Data of a Fatmucket (Lampsilis siliquoidea) Augmentation Effort in the Clinton River Watershed near Detroit, MI, September 2024

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 06:17 AM | Dataset Last Updated: March 25, 2026 at 12:00 AM
This data release contains individual freshwater mussel data used in an augmentation effort within the Clinton River watershed located near Detroit, Michigan in September 2024. Mussels were individually tagged with a unique identification tag, and a subset of mussels received a passive integrated transponder tag to be able to detect their location in June 2024. All mussels were measured for height, length, width, and a subset were weighed at the time of tagging. During the augmentation effort, five mussels were placed into a 1-m2 grid cell at five locations within the watershed. Microhabitat and discharge data were taken before mussels were placed into the grid.
