“…Water temperatures at the watersediment interface varied across the study area within single sample days and we recorded many sample sites with temperatures above 2˚C throughout the winter, even with significant ice cover. Other studies have previously documented survival of C. fluminea in areas with extended ice cover which have led to suggestions that this species can likely survive in colder temperatures than previously thought [33,34]. These observations help confirm that extended ice cover alone is not sufficient to describe the actual conditions and that direct water temperatures should be recorded at the water-sediment interface of sample sites to get a more accurate picture of the conditions benthic organisms are experiencing.…”

Although Corbicula fluminea has been one of the more prolific freshwater invasive species in the world, previous studies have suggested a low probability for overwinter survival in northern latitudes without an artificially created thermal refuge. The discovery of live C. fluminea in a central Minnesota lake absent any known thermal refuge in 2020 presented an opportunity to further evaluate the overwinter survival and population structure of C. fluminea at the presumed edge of their potential range. The population was monitored from December 2020 through September 2021 alongside water temperature to better understand at which temperatures C. fluminea survived and if the population structure suggested reproduction occurring in the lake. We documented live C. fluminea in temperatures as low as 0.3°C. Shell size of recovered individuals suggested multiple cohorts, and the appearance of a new cohort at the end of the study, indicating active reproduction in the lake and suggesting the population had likely been present in the lake for at least two winters by the conclusion of the study period. Our findings provide evidence of the survival below historically documented lower lethal temperature limits and suggests adaptations to modeling predicting suitable habitat, both present and in a changing climate, are necessary to better assess risk of invasion by this species.

“…El sustrato estuvo compuesto de 88.16% de lodos y 11.84% de arenas; en el caño El Torno, de sustrato arenoso, no fue encontrado este bivalvo. Sin embargo, estudios en Norteamérica informan de la preferencia de C. fluminea por sustratos arenosos, estando ausente en los lodosos (Cordeiro y Mac Williams, 1999). Las tallas oscilaron entre 10 y 43 mm de longitud, en contraste con lo encontrado en P. solida, con máximo de 50.2 mm y promedio de 30.1 mm.…”

First Record in Colombia of Corbicula Fluminea (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Corbiculidae), an Invasive Species

The bivalve Corbicula fluminea Müller is recorded for the first time in Colombia, in the National Park Isla de Salamanca. This protected area includes freshwater channels and mixohaline lagoons influenced by waters of both the Magdalena River and the Caribbean Sea. This exotic bivalve occurs locally in freshwater channels close to the Magdalena River as well as in the latter, whereas another corbiculid native species, Polymesoda solida, is commonly found in the mixohaline lagoons. Densities of C. fluminea ranged from 10 to 100 ind/m2 along with low numbers of P. solida. Lengths ranged form 10 to 43 mm in a predominant muddy substrate. Local fishermen have stated that C. fluminea was established approximately in 1992; this clam is being artisanally exploited for human consumption along with P. solida, although fishery is mainly focused on the latter, due to its larger size.
