Popis:	Corbicula fluminea, an introduced Asian clam, was stocked with channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) in Illinois culture ponds. Survival of the stocked clams was 36-79% over summer, but reproduction was poor and the populations declined. Nevertheless, ponds with Corbicula had less dissolved oxygen depletion, lower turbidity, and greater primary production than ponds without the clam. Growth of channel catfish was unaffected by the presence or absence of clams. Corbicula fluminea has potential value as a polyculture organism and as a biological filter where water temperatures do not exceed 30°C.
