The Recent Introduction of a Freshwater Asiatic Bivalve, Limnoperna forlunei (Mytilidae) into South America

The temporal and spatial distribution of Limnoperna forlunei in the Argentine littoral of the Rio de la Plata is reported. Its distribution is limited by the most contaminated area and by an increment in the saline concentration. A decrease in density was recorded between August 1992 and January 199...
