Abstract
Densities and distribution of the brackish-water mollusk communities of Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas, Louisiana, are outlined. Lakes Pontchartrain and Maurepas were divided into 99 three mile square grids with two Peterson grab samples taken in each grid. The results of these 198 samples, including ten molluscan species, are reported, as well as some apparent trends in the two lakes.
