See general categories for Implementation Schedules. *2. Other agencies' responsibility would be of a cooperative nature or projects funded under a contract or grant program. In some cases contracts could be let to universities or private enterprises. *3. Note: Task costs have not been estimated for this plan. This species' present/historic distribution coincides with that of other listed species. Thus, a task aimed at this species will benefit others. rather than attempting to apportion the costs to each species, recovery tasks will be estimated at a later date when the plans are combined on a watershed basis for implementation. The primary populations of this wide-ranging species are in the Ohio, Tennessee, Cumberland, Green, Meramec, Osage, and Saline Rivers and some of their larger tributaries. Status assessment-type survey work has been conducted in most of these streams in the past 5-10 years. The largest populations now clearly reside in Tennessee River below Pickwick Landing Dam, TN, and Saline River, AR. The species in both streams occur over many river miles and appears to be improving in status. All other populations are considerably smaller. See draft 5-Year Review for details. In addition, propagation technology has been developed, and some marginal populations are being augmented with cultured individuals grown out to a taggable size (~15 mm long). Streams of historical occurrence are also being assessed for reintroduction efforts.
Pink Mucket Pearly Mussel F 4 Asheville Ecological Services Field Office (828) 258-3939 Pink mucket (pearlymussel) Lampsilis abrupta 2 1.2 Identify essential habitat and specific areas in need of protection Ongoing Current Prior to FY 1995 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Endangered Species Division, Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Missouri Department of Conservation, Illinois Nature Preserve Commission, Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission , Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission , Tennessee Valley Authority , Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency , Illinois Department of Conservation, West Virginia Department of Natural Resources, USFWS Regional Office 3 - Twin Cities, USFWS Regional Office 4 - Atlanta, Missouri Department of Natural Resources, USFWS Regional Office 5, Tennessee Heritage Program, Kentucky Nature Preserves Commission Research: Habitat Requirements Graduate Student, Species Expert, Contract, Internal Field Assistance According to the draft 5-Year Review (August 2014), 29 populations are extant, but roughly half are marginal in status. Only a few are relatively large and robust. Seeing that its largest populations are in lower Tennessee River, TN, and Saline River, AR (see Action 1.1), it is clear that these are the most important populations to protect. Further, given its wide range, it is also important to protect peripheral populations to protect genetic stocks from throughout its range. This information is more/less up-to-date as of August 2014.

Stochastic events, such as a major chemical spill in the Ohio River in 1999, impact localized populations.
