Field
|
Corbicula fluminea reduction in phytoplankton abundance by 40-60% in a roughly 7 km stretch of the Potomac River, MD, relative to upstream and downstream segments. This was likely due to the very high densities of C. fluminea in this stretch (an increase from 1.2 clams/m2 in 1977 to 1,467 clams/m2 in 1981) and the high filter feeding rates that were observed.

Field
|
Higher levels of nitrogen, ammonia (NH3), and orthophosphate (PO4) in feces and pseudofeces, as well as the chemical releases following Corbicula fluminea summer die-offs, could alter nutrient cycling in freshwater systems.
