Reasons for Success: Zebra mussels can filter water at rates much higher than native mussels, allowing zebra mussels to be successful and to significantly impact native species.
Methods of Containment: -The containment of Zebra Mussels is very difficult and costly. -Most containment and control technologies were developed for closed-water systems. -To prevent invasive mussel movement through water delivery systems and for open water systems, tools are needed. -The development of options will benefit local governments, tribes, States, federal government and private industry to control infestations.
