Smith, D. G. (1985).  Recent range expansion of the freshwater mussel Anodonta 
implicata and its relationship to clupeid fish restoration in the Connecticut 
River system. Freshwater Invertebrate Biology.  4:105-108.
	
The range of Anodonta implicata in the Connecticut River prior to 1970 was known 
not to extend upstream from Hartford, Connecticut. Since 1970 A. implicata has 
increased its range upstream in the Connecticut River to Bellows Falls, Vermont. 
This rapid range expansion appears to be correlated with chronological episodes 
of clupeid fish restoration above successive dams in the Connecticut River. 
Anodonta implicata, therefore, can be used as an indicator of success of clupeid 
fish restoration.
