Low water boosts mussel finds in Skunk River survey
DNR mussel blitz in late August found 12 species along the Skunk River near Brighton as low flows increased prey exposure for raccoons. Downstream in the Wapsipinicon near Anamosa, diversity declined with signs of possible pollution and reduced reproduction. The effort involves DNR, counties, US Fish and Wildlife, and volunteers.
