Help hatchery staff with mussel propagation! From the Hatchery Website, “The hatchery is home to one of the largest mussel culture recovery projects in North America. The Higgins eye pearly mussel has been listed under the Endangered Species Act since 1976. The hatchery produces more than 500,000 Higgins eye mussel juveniles for stocking into four river systems in the Upper Mississippi River watershed. The hatchery also propagates channel catfish and juvenile mussels for work related to the winged mapleleaf mussel recovery program. This very rare species of mussel is one of the most endangered freshwater mussels in North America.”
