Anodonta implicata Say 1829 was encountered at three sites in 2009 (Table 1).<br />

They were found to be common on a gravel shoal in <strong>the</strong> Susquehanna River upstream <strong>of</strong><br />

Port Deposit. Previously, A. implicata was <strong>collected</strong> 8 times in four 8-digit watersheds<br />

(Figure 6). An earlier record from Flat Run in <strong>the</strong> Upper Monocacy watershed was<br />

determined to be a misidentification. Anodonta implicata has been <strong>collected</strong> within or in<br />

<strong>the</strong> vicinity <strong>of</strong> tidally influenced water. Due to a lack <strong>of</strong> collection <strong>records</strong> with<br />

associated data we were unable to investigate environmental conditions found at sites<br />

with A. implicata.<br />
