A continued increase in<br />
Conochilidae for 2003 was<br />
suggested by the LOWESS<br />
line to about 55/L (Figure<br />
126). This was well above<br />
levels of about 5/L in 1990.<br />
Over the entire period of<br />
record, a significant linear<br />
increase was found (Table<br />
12).<br />

YEAR<br />
In the river, the LOWESS line<br />
suggested a continued slow<br />
decline in Conochilidae, but<br />
some values were near the<br />
maximum observe in previous<br />
years (Figure 127). The trend<br />
line was at 20/L, but values<br />
were scattered over a large<br />
range. When the entire period<br />
of record was examined, a<br />
weak linear trend was found<br />
(Table 12).<br />
