摘要

Abstract

Freshwater mussels are a major component of the zoobenthos and they therefore play an important role in freshwater ecosystems. The community composition and the standing crop of freshwater mussels in Poyang Lake

the largest freshwater lake in China and one of two lakes connected to the Changjiang (Yangtze) River

were investigated from February 2008 to May 2009. Mussels were sampled in hydrologically and geographically distinct sampling areas. A total of 42 species and 13 genera were identified

of which 32 species were endemic to China. Two species

Unio douglasiae and Lamprotula caveata

dominated all sampling areas. The number of genera and species

and the number of species within each genus

differed significantly among sampling areas. Freshwater mussels were very abundant

with an overall density of 0.28 ± 0.22 ind./m2 and biomass of 4.08 ± 3.96 g/m2. Significant variation observed among sampling areas and among genera was probably due to the variety of habitats among the areas sampled and to the adaptability of different freshwater mussels to environments. This study suggests that Poyang Lake and other freshwater lakes in the region are important sites of freshwater mussel biodiversity and conservation.
