Inflated Floater Sample Clauses

Inflated Floater. Updated surveys should be conducted to determine this species’ distribution in the Altamaha River Basin. Collections should be made during these surveys so that the taxonomy of the Inflated Floater can be investigated. Host fish trials should also be conducted. Drawdown rates should be studied to determine the effects to this species in GPC’s lacustrine Project Sites and the rates adjusted, if needed. Riparian buffers should be protected to avoid unnecessary bank disturbance and nutrient runoff as this species often is found in shallow areas near the water’s edge. Conservation for this species will benefit from implementation of riparian BMPs as described below. In developed, lacustrine areas, environmental review for shoreline structure permitting requirements should be further developed. 1. Updated surveys in both riverine and lacustrine locations within the Altamaha River Basin, especially in vicinity of the Project Site, should be conducted on the repeating five-year study area rotation described above. Once the 5-year rotation is completed, the cycle will be repeated an additional five times during the 30-year duration of this Agreement. The survey design will follow recently applied intensive survey methods for mollusks as currently accepted by GDNR Nongame and Service. 2. Use tissue material from the individuals collected in the surveys mentioned above to genetically determine if the Inflated Floater is in fact a separate species from the Eastern Floater (Pyganodon cataracta). 3. Conduct laboratory host fish trials to determine the fish species used in development and dispersal. 4. Study the effects of drawdown rates on Inflated Floater movement if in GPC lakes subject to drawdown management practices. Results from in-situ studies will be evaluated by parties of this agreement. As mutually agreed, additional technical expertise may be invited into the studies to assist in determining how and to what level of significance drawdown rate management can benefit Inflated Floater under normal operational and drought-caused constraints. 5. As applicable to GPC-owned or GPC-permitted homeowner lake properties, conditions provided in GPC’s homeowner permitting program (construction, dredging, etc.) that address protection of protected species and/or their critical habitats will be followed. 6. Implement management actions on GPC’s Project Sites in the Altamaha River Basin, including the implementation of forestry BMPs on GPC non-developed uplands, restricted...

Inflated Floater. Pyganondon gibbosa (Say 1824), the Inflated Floater, was presumably described from South Carolina but the type specimen was lost. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (1970) restricted the type locality to the Altamaha River, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, near Darien, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ County, Georgia. The species has a thin, delicate, and greatly inflated shell. The species is elongate and elliptical in outline, with the anterior margin narrowly rounded, the posterior margin bluntly pointed to slightly truncate, and the ventral margin broadly rounded. The posterior ridge is narrowly rounded to angular. Umbos are inflated and elevated well above the hinge line and positioned anterior to the middle of the shell. A dorsal wing is present posterior to the umbo and very prominent on young individuals. The periostracum of this species is typically glossy green to brown, with or without fine rays. Pseudocardinal and lateral teeth are absent from both valves, the umbo cavity is moderately deep, and the nacre is white.
