Meet our West Fork White River's Freshwater Mussels
Our Muncie Sanitary District's Bureau of Water Quality reports 21 species of mussels found in West Fork White River in Delaware County, with 70 total native species documented throughout Indiana.
Freshwater mussels are considered to be (one of) the most endangered animals in North America.
Our river is also home to two invasive mussel species: Zebra Mussel (Dreissena fluminea) & Asiatic Clam (Corbicula fluminea). More on these later.
