Quagga and Zebra Mussels

Since the first edition was published, a second invasive dreissenid, the quagga mussel, has become established in the western U.S. and is rapidly spreading. This book provides the first comprehensive coverage of the biology, impacts, and control strategies for the quagga mussel. The new edition also includes updated coverage on the zebra mussel, including its spread through major river systems in the U.S. and Europe. Chapters cover the morphology, physiology, and behavior of dreissenid mussels and address their impact as well as policy and regulatory responses.
