Summary: "The Protection of Fresh-Water Mussels" by R. E. Coker is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This book discusses the fresh-water mussel industry, its economic importance, and the pressing need for effective protective measures to sustain mussel populations. The text is centered on the ecological and commercial challenges facing the industry and outlines strategies for enhancement and conservation. In "The Protection of Fresh-Water Mussels," Coker presents a comprehensive examination of the mussel industry, specifically focusing on issues such as overfishing, habitat depletion, and the detrimental impact of unregulated fishing practices. Coker argues for the implementation of size limits to protect juvenile mussels and the establishment of closed regions within rivers to allow for natural regeneration of mussel beds. Through careful legislative recommendations, he emphasizes the importance of balancing industry needs with conservation efforts to ensure sustainable practices that benefit both local communities and the mussel population as a whole. The book serves as a crucial resource for policymakers, environmentalists, and those invested in the future of the freshwater ecosystem and its economic viability.
