Popis:	We report the occurrence of the Asiatic clam, Corbicula sp. in Lake Superior. Although Corbicula sp. has been recorded earlier from the Great Lakes, this is the first report of the clam from Lake Superior. Individuals were distributed in the thermal effluent at the Upper Peninsula Power Company, with the greatest density at 22°C. Density averaged 96·m2. Shell length ranged from 3 mm to 24 mm with 85% of clams being < 1 year old.
