Book Description
In 1988, a ship discharged its ballast water into Lake St. Clair, Michigan, releasing billions of organisms that it had taken on at a freshwater port in Europe. In the ballast were the larvae of a freshwater mollusc, the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha). This small mussel is usually no more than 5 cm long with characteristic zebra-like stripes (Figure 1). The zebra mussel is native to the Caspian Sea and Ural River in Asia. In the nineteenth century, it spread west, and is now found in most of Europe, the western portion of Russia, neighboring former Soviet Union republics, and Turkey.

Book Description
The introduction and rapid spread of two Eurasian mussel species, Dreissena polymorpha (zebra mussel) and Dreissena rostriformis bugensis (quagga mussel), in waters of North America has caused great concern among industrial and recreational water users. These invasive species can create substantial problems for raw water users such as water treatme

Book Description
Control and prevention of macrofouling caused by the freshwater zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas), is a major concern of managers of inland waterways, water treatment plants, and power generation facilities in many areas of eastern North America. The threat to structures in navigable waterways makes the issue of interest to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In North America, chemical applications to water have been the most commonly used method of zebra mussel treatment and control for internal and closed systems. Numerous organic and inorganic chemicals with toxicity to zebra mussels can provide versatile, cost-effective, and easy to implement ways to deal with established populations, and can prevent new infestations. Chemical treatments can be designed to protect whole systems very safely when use and discharge are carried out in compliance with environmental regulations. This report describes basic guidelines for the use of molluscicidal compounds that are currently registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for zebra mussel control.
