Bordelon VL and Harrel RC. 2004. Freshwater mussels (bivalvia: unionidae) of the Village Creek drainage basin in southeast Texas. Texas Journal of Science. 56(1):63-72
A total of 18 species and 2,235 individuals of freshwater mussels were collected from 22 sites in the Village basin. The number of individuals per site ranged from zero to 528 and the number of species per site ranged from zero to 13. Relative abundance for all collection sites varied from zero to 176 individuals/person-hours. Quadrula mortoni and Fusconaia comprised 60 percent of the total individuals collected and relative abundance was 14.8 and 13.1 individuals/person-hours, respectively. Lampsilis satura, Obovaria jacksoniana and Pleurobema riddellii were collected at several sites and are listed as "of special concern" by the American Fisheries Society.
