Yellow lampmussel (Lampsilis cariosa) COSEWIC assessment and status report: chapter 15
Authorities Contacted
A notice about the study of the status of L. cariosa was put in the May 1999 edition of the Triannual Unionid Report 17 (Davis, 1999). This generated only one general inquiry requesting information about local freshwater mussels. Information about L. cariosa in New England was obtained from a web-site set up by D.G. Smith, Massachusetts: Reserach Request - Yellow Lampmussel. Lori Small, Environment Librarian, Nova Scotia Department of the Environment, Halifax was contacted for information on water quality in Sydney River, N.S. Discussions about the project were also held with Mark Elderkin, Terry Power and other Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources staff during a freshwater mussel workshop held at Coxheath, Cape Breton County on 21 June 1999.
