Earlier studies have suggested effect of land use on freshwater pearl mussel (FPM) via the detrimental impact of siltation on juvenile mussels, but little is known about its effects through the changes in food quality. Moreover, the relative role of autochthonous and allochthonous food source of FPM is largely unstudied. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate relationship between food source and performance of adult FPM, with the hypothesis that condition of mussels would correlate positively with the availability of autochthonous food. The mean shell opening resistance (SOR) and FPM density were used as indicators of the condition of the populations in 14 northern Finnish rivers. The diet of FPM was studied by analyzing stable isotope ratios (δ13C, δ15N, and δ2H) of the mussel foot tissue and the potential food sources. The contribution of autochthonous and allochthonous sources in the diet of FPM and its connection to the condition of the populations were examined with Bayesian mixing models. There was markable variation in the autochthonous source signal between the rivers, which may possibly be explained with the higher terrestrial organic matter contribution in the lake fine particulate organic matter in southern rivers. Mixing model medians suggested overall dominance of autochthonous sources in diet of FPM. Mixing model with mean SOR as a continuous effect explained best the variation in FPM diet, so that there was surprisingly a tendency of allochthonous contribution to increase with SOR, suggesting a possible positive association between condition of FPM and the proportion of allochthonous sources in the diet. Further studies are still needed to understand the relationship between food sources and condition of FPM, and the possible effect of land use on FPM via changes on food quality, but the present study suggests that although autochthonous sources largely dominate, the allochthonous food sources in diet of FPM can be of high importance for the performance of the individuals.

The role of salmonid fishes in conservation of the endangered freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera)
Salonen, Jouni (University of Jyväskylä, 2016)The abundance of freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera) has declined widely during the past century, and new conservation initiatives are needed. This thesis focused on the relationship between M. ... -
Effect of catchment characteristics on dietary resource use and condition of freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera)
Hajisafarali, Mahsa (Jyväskylän yliopisto, 2024)Valuma-alueen ominaisuudet yhdessä maankäytön kanssa voivat vaikuttaa jokien ravinnekuormitukseen ja suodattajien ravinnon laatuun ja saatavuuteen. Uhanalainen jokihelmisimpukka elää vähäravinteisissa latvajoissa, joihin ... -
Chronic toxicity of sodium sulphate to two age groups of freshwater pearl mussels Margaritifera margaritifera
Hu, Xiaoxuan (2022)Sulfaatti on luonnossa esiintyvä anioni, jonka pitoisuudet ovat ihmistoiminnasta johtuen paikoittain korkeat. Pitkäaikaiset altistuskokeet ovat osoittaneet, että suurina pitoisuuksina sulfaatti vähentää makean veden eliöiden ... -
Growth and longevity of the endangered freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) : Implications for conservation and management
Nykänen, Sabrina; Taskinen, Jouni; Hajisafarali, Mahsa; Kuparinen, Anna (Wiley, 2024)Key life-history data, such as growth and age, are necessary to effectively manage and conserve threatened freshwater mussel species. Traditionally growth and age studies require large yet destructive sample sizes covering ... -
Sulfate sensitivity of early life stages of freshwater mussels Unio crassus and Margaritifera margaritifera
Hu, Xiaoxuan; Mäkinen, Mikko; Taskinen, Jouni; Karjalainen, Juha (Springer Nature, 2024)Sulfate is increasingly found in elevated concentrations in freshwater ecosystems due to anthropogenic activities. Chronic exposure to sulfate has been reported to cause sublethal effects on freshwater invertebrates. ...
