Comments | CDFW District Fisheries Biologist, Zach Crum, submitting this observation on behalf of Jon Hall of the San Luis Obispo Land Conservancy. According to City of San Luis Obispo Biologist, Freddy Otte, there have been anecdotal reports of Asian Clam upstream in Laguna Lake. It is likely that this is the source population for Asian Clams found in the downstream reaches of San Luis Obispo Creek. |
