Take of Mussels Sample Clauses

Take of Mussels. ‌ In some cases, estimates of impacted stream miles or a percentage of the stream miles per Conservation Zone that may be affected by Covered Activities are used as a habitat surrogate measure to quantify estimates of take or identify when take has been exceeded. The causal link between using stream miles of riverine habitat as a surrogate (50 CFR 402.14(i)(1)(i)) to estimate potential take of individual mussels is a practical approach given that mussels spend the majority of their life cycle relatively immobile with most of their bodies buried in the sediment of the stream bed. Covered Activities include physical disturbance of stream beds as well as possible changes to water quality, water levels, and flow rates. Activities that disturb stream beds or alter water quality, water levels, and flow rates could injure or kill adult mussels, juveniles, or larval glochidia, or displace mussels or their host fish to unsuitable habitats (possibly disrupting reproduction). Low water levels could expose mussels to desiccation, heat stress, and predation; high water levels could dislodge mussels from sediments or contribute to sedimentation, erosion, or bank collapse (possibly suffocating mussels). Water quality degradation could result in direct mortality or sub-lethal effects, such as excessive valve closure, which can negatively affect mussel health and reproduction through increased energy costs and reduced feeding rates (Xxxxx et al. 2019). Estimates of take based on impacts to habitat can inform possible levels of injury or death to individuals of the Covered Species due to Covered Activities and set targets that can be monitored and reported annually. The Covered Parties can monitor and document the river miles or percentage of stream miles in each zone affected by their actions (and possibly others) through a variety of measures including remote sensing and habitat monitoring. Additionally, dead shells and recently dead individuals may be detected during routine or contemporaneous monitoring visits and reported to the USFWS. Freshwater mussels are sedentary filter feeding organisms that rely on suitable substrates and sufficient water quality and flows to meet their life history needs and those of their host fishes. The Trinity River Basin today is highly modified compared to conditions prior to the industrial revolution. On average, baseflows in Upper and Middle Basin are substantially higher due to municipal wastewater effluent return flows. Although waste...
