“…Lake mussel populations are generally found above the thermocline in stratifying lakes (Cyr, 2008;Cyr, Phillips, & Butterworth, 2017). Within this limit, a suite of physical factors controlled by bathymetry and wave action predict mussel distribution, density, and size (Bossenbroek et al, 2018;Cyr, 2008). For example, the depth of maximum mussel density increases with effective fetch and lake area (Cyr, 2008;Cyr et al, 2017) and shell length of some species decreases with increasing water depth (Cyr, 2008;Ghent, Singer, & Johnson-Singer, 1978;Hanson, Mackay, & Prepas, 1988;Strayer, Cole, Likens, & Buso, 1981).…”
