The Asian clam Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774), exotic species of mollusk, belonging to the Corbiculidae family, has been the target of many research because of its great dispersal ability and to have developed into an important competitor with native species of freshwater, a fact that becomes potentially causer of ecological desequilibrium. However, although the literature shows that C. fluminea can tolerate environmental changes in aquatic systems, studies in two watersheds, one in Rio Pardo basin and another in Rio Mogi-Guaçu basin, revealed that there are mortality of these molluscs in points of these watersheds. Experiments conducted on animals collected at two points, demonstrated susceptibility to the presence of sediments, in magnitude and time scale parameterized, related to rates found in nature. The animals showed intolerance to the conditions of turbidity above 150 NTU, with a mortality rate of fifty percent of the experimental population between 96 and 120 hours of exposure, with early mortality in 72 hours. Laboratory testing showed the presence of sediment in the palial cavity, indicating that this is the likely cause of mortality, since it uses the mechanism of filtration to feed themselves. Way related, the watersheds studied have important characteristics, such as management, types and land cover, slope of the terrain and intensity of hydrological events, which may be contributory to the carrying of sediments, due to erosion, for water bodies, becoming a determining factor in mortality of C. fluminea.
