| Comments | No live specimens found in the creek, only shell material found at three creek locations. Three live mussels were found in fish pond upstream of creek that had stocked fish that host this mussel. It is unknown if fish infected with glochidia made it into the creek. The ponds upstream were treated with a copper based product in July-September 2019 to kill all the mussels. |
