Zebra mussel veligers were collected from the Niagara River shoreline at an untreated site and tested using filtered river water from the same source.Interactive maps: Point Distribution Maps The direction of this testing was based on previous studies which determined the effectiveness of chlorine dioxide as a molluscicide for adult zebra mussel control. « lessĭreissena polymorpha (zebra mussel) veligers were treated with various concentrations of chlorine dioxide and exposed at several time intervals to determine the effectiveness of this oxidant as a veliger control agent. Results support contention that characteristics of byssal attachment may vary between freshwater and marine species. Some of these results are consistent with observations made on the intertidal bivalve Mytilus edulis, others conflict. Mean byssal thread number in a newly formed byssal complex after 21 days exposure was 52.5, 63.8, 73.3 and 60.4 at current velocities of 0.1, 0.15, 0.2 and 0.27 m/s respectively. Suppression may be due to agitation, interfering with more » the mussels ability to successfully produce a byssal thread. velocities of 0.27 m/s suppressed production. Increased current velocity significantly elevated rates of byssal thread production between 0.1 m/s and 0.2 m/s. Mussels were removed from current daily and number of new threads counted over a period of 21 days after which mussels were removed and their shell length measured. Pediveligers actively select substrates on which they C exposed to currents velocities of 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.27 m/s were counted over 21 days. The last larval stage known as the pediveliger, however, can both swim using its velum or crawl using its fully-functional foot. Later, the secretion of a second larval shell leads to the last obligate free-swimming veliger stage known as the veliconcha. With the development of a velum and the secretion of a D-shaped larval shell, the larva becomes a D-shaped veliger, which is the first recognizable planktonic larva. Following external fertilization and embryological development, there is a brief trochophore stage. The success of introduced zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas) and Dreissena bugensis Andrusova) can be related in large parttot a life history that is unlike that of the indigenous freshwater fauna and yet is conserved with marine bivalves. ![]()
