5.3. Mollusca<br />

5.3.1. Hyriidae<br />

Freshwater mussels were not identied from the Copacabana and MacMasters Beach area. Despite<br />

our best efforts we were unable to conrm the presence of any freshwater bi valves. We expect the<br />

small catchment and intermittent ow rates of feeder creeks are unsuitable for these species.<br />

5.3.2. Planorbidae<br />

Freshwater snails Glyptophysa gibbosa were found in several areas. Only small numbers but even<br />

so their presence does indicate that suitable habitat is available.<br />
