Zebra Mussels: An Annotated Bibliography Zebra Mussels have been becoming more and more of a topic since they first came into the US by a boat to the Great Lakes. This shows how they have come here and the effect of the being here and possible ways to control the mussels.
Macisaac, H. J. 1996. Potential Abiotic and Biotic Impacts of Zebra Mussels on the Inland Waters of North America. Intergrative and Comparative Biology 36:287-299.
This article talks about how the mussels and how they clear the water by removing clay, silt, bacteria and plankton. It also says by the clearing the water increase growth of benthic plants.
Griffiths, R. W., D. W. Schloesser, J. H. Leach, W. P. Kovalak. 2011. Distribution and Dispersal of the Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) in the Great Lakes Region. Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 8: 1381-1388.
This article talks about how and when Zebra Mussels were first discovered in the Great Lakes.
Johnson, L, A., J. T. Carlton, 1996. Post-Establishment Spread in Large-Scale Invasions: Dispersal Mechanisms of the Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha). Ecology 6: 1686-1690.
This article explains why the Zebra Mussel is so good at being an invasive species. How it moves to new lakes and how it thrives.
Holland, R. T., 1993. Changes in Planktonic Diatoms and Water Transparency in Hatchery Bay, Bass Island Area, Western Lake Erie Since the Establishment of the Zebra Mussel. Journal of Great Lakes Research 19: 617-624.
This is an article that actually gives results of experiment in Lake Erie. The experiment is on water transparency.
Reeders, H. H., A. Biji de Vaate, 1990. Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha): a new perspective for water quality management. Hydrobiologia 200-201: 437-450.
This article actually says how introducing zebra mussels is a good thing. This was in 1990, even though there are good benefits there is also bad.
