Variation in the distribution of Corbicula species (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Corbiculidae) after 25 years of its introduction in the Río de la Plata, Argentina

In 1981, <i>Corbicula fluminea</i> (Müller, 1774) and <i>C. largillierti</i> (Philippi, 1844) were recorded at the Río de la Plata River. During the 1980’s, <i>C. largillierti</i> was found on a continuous fringe in the shore of that river, while <i>C. flumi...

During the 1980’s, <i>C. largillierti</i> was found on a continuous fringe in the shore of that river, while <i>C. fluminea</i> was only found North of Buenos Aires’ harbor.

The aim of this research was to determine whether the densities of both species decreased; whether <i>C. fluminea</i> is still more abundant than <i>C. largillierti</i>; and whether the size frequency distributions indicate different population structures from those observed in the end of the 1980’s. Nine localities from the river shore were sampled, and each individual was identified and measured. The size of <i>C. fluminea</i> varied between 2 and 39 mm, showing the highest frequency of individuals between 20 and 25 mm; furthermore the density decreased 90% in 2015/2016.
