“…Total ammonia nitrogen remained below acceptable levels [35] throughout the study ( Table 1). For comparability to studies with Asian carp [4,7], hereafter, treatment levels of CO 2 will refer to the mean measured CO 2 concentration in the 3 replicate aquaria of a treatment (i.e., 43 mg/L, 110 mg/L, 162 mg/L, and 269 mg/L). Mean aquarium water flow rates ranged from 271 mL/min to 312 mL/min.…”

“…The concentration of CO 2 that induces avoidance behavior in Asian carp is 60 mg/L to 120 mg/L [4,7], which is within the estimated 28-d LC50 value for mussels in the present study (LC50 ¼ 76.0 mg/L, CI 62.9-90.3). However, infusion of CO 2 for invasive species control is in the early stages of testing, and effective concentrations that can be achieved in the field have not been firmly established.…”

“…Atlantic cod spent 90% of their time in control water (500 matm) and avoided water containing 1000 matm CO 2 when given a choice [5]. Results of a small pond study conducted at the Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center demonstrated that infusion of CO 2 into water at concentrations of 60 mg/L to 70 mg/L deterred fish from occupying an area [7].

Carbon dioxide (CO ) has shown promise as a tool to control movements of invasive Asian carp, but its effects on native freshwater biota have not been well studied. The authors evaluated lethal and sublethal responses of juvenile fatmucket (Lampsilis siliquoidea) mussels to CO at levels (43-269 mg/L, mean concentration) that bracket concentrations effective for deterring carp movement. The 28-d lethal concentration to 50% of the mussels was 87.0 mg/L (95% confidence interval [CI] 78.4-95.9) and at 16-d postexposure, 76.0 mg/L (95% CI 62.9-90.3). A proportional hazards regression model predicted that juveniles could not survive CO concentrations >160 mg/L for more than 2 wk or >100 mg/L CO for more than 30 d. Mean shell growth was significantly lower for mussels that survived CO treatments. Growth during the postexposure period did not differ among treatments, indicating recovery of the mussels. Also, CO caused shell pitting and erosion. Behavioral effects of CO included movement of mussels to the substrate surface and narcotization at the highest concentrations. Mussels in the 110 mg/L mean CO treatment had the most movements in the first 3 d of exposure. If CO is infused continuously as a fish deterrent, concentrations <76 mg/L are recommended to prevent juvenile mussel mortality and shell damage. Mussels may survive and recover from brief exposure to higher concentrations. Environ Toxicol Chem 2017;36:671-681. Published 2016 Wiley Periodicals Inc. on behalf of SETAC.

“…As previously indicated, the responses of freshwater bivalves to elevations in p CO 2 have been largely understudied compared with the work that has been carried out on marine bivalves in the context of ocean acidification. Although the levels of CO 2 in the present study exceed those typically used in ocean acidification studies (i.e., ∼ 15 000–50 000 μatm vs ∼ 800–4000 μatm for marine studies ), these levels may not be improbable for some freshwater systems , particularly in the case of invasive species management . Further studies into the carry‐over effects of elevated p CO 2 exposure―as well as consequences for reproduction and the role that reproductive state and sex of the mussel may play in mediating responses―would provide additional information on population level consequences for freshwater mussels exposed to high p CO 2 .…”

Freshwater mussels may be exposed to elevations in mean partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO ) caused by both natural and anthropogenic factors. The goal of the present study was to assess the effects of a 28-d elevation in pCO at 15 000 and 50 000 μatm on processes associated with biomineralization, ion regulation, and cellular stress in adult Lampsilis siliquoidea (Barnes, 1823). In addition, the capacity for mussels to compensate for acid-base disturbances experienced after exposure to elevated pCO was assessed over a 14-d recovery period. Overall, exposure to 50 000 μatm pCO had more pronounced physiological consequences compared with 15 000 μatm pCO . Over the first 7 d of exposure to 50 000 μatm pCO , the mRNA abundance of chitin synthase (cs), calmodulin (cam), and calmodulin-like protein (calp) were significantly affected, suggesting that shell formation and integrity may be altered during pCO exposure. After the removal of the pCO treatment, mussels may compensate for the acid-base and ion disturbances experienced during pCO exposure, and transcript levels of some regulators of biomineralization (carbonic anhydrase [ca], cs, cam, calp) as well as ion regulation (na -k -ATPase [nka]) were modulated. Effects of elevated pCO on heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) were limited in the present study. Overall, adult L. siliquoidea appeared to regulate factors associated with the control of biomineralization and ion regulation during and/or after the removal of pCO exposure.

Disruption of movement patterns due to alterations in habitat connectivity is a pervasive effect of humans on animal populations. In many terrestrial and aquatic systems, there is increasing tension between the need to simultaneously allow passage of some species while blocking the passage of other species. We explore the ecological basis for selective fragmentation of riverine systems where the need to restrict movements of invasive species conflicts with the need to allow passage of species of commercial, recreational, or conservation concern. We develop a trait-based framework for selective fish passage based on understanding the types of movements displayed by fishes and the role of ecological filters in determining the spatial distributions of fishes. We then synthesize information on trait-based mechanisms involved with these filters to create a multidimensional niche space based on attributes such as physical capabilities, body morphology, sensory capabilities, behavior, and movement phenology. Following this, we review how these mechanisms have been applied to achieve selective fish passage across anthropogenic barriers. To date, trap-and-sort or capture-translocation efforts provide the best options for movement filters that are completely species selective, but these methods are hampered by the continual, high cost of manual sorting. Other less effective methods of selective passage risk collateral damage in the form of lower or higher than desired levels of passage. Fruitful areas for future work include using combinations of ecological and behavioral traits to passively segregate species; using taxon-specific chemical or auditory cues to direct unwanted species away from passageways and into physical or ecological traps while attracting desirable species to passageways; and developing automated sorting mechanisms based on fish recognition systems. The trait-based approach proposed for fish could serve as a template for selective fragmentation in other ecological systems.
