Book Synopsis Reproduction in a Freshwater Unionid (Mollusca: Bivalvia) Community Downstream of Cave Run Reservoir in the Licking River at Moores Ferry, Kentucky by : Stephen Eugene McMurray
Book excerpt: The objective of this study was to determine why recruitment had ceased or had been dramatically decreased in the diverse unionid community at Moores Ferry, Bath County, Kentucky, and to compare it with a unionid community 159 kilometers downstream at Butler, Pendleton County, Kentucky, which was thought to be healthy. It was hypothesized that the loss of recruitment in the Moores Ferry bed was the result of Cave Run Reservoir, located approximately 35.4 km upstream.
