For three species (Amblema plicata, Anodonta grandis, and Obliquaria reflexa), shells in the dredged material were significantly smaller than those of the same species collected at about the same time from the other sites in Pool 26 of the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers. The concentration of juvenile specimens in the dredged material is thought to represent a de novo development associated with silt accumulation behind the coffer dam. Purpose: Reporting results of research.
