Invasive Mussel Parameters for Hatchery Vulnerability

Hatchery vulnerability range for key zebra mussel (Dreissena polumorpha) and quagga mussel (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) parameters. If your hatchery is within range of all the vulnerability parameters for a given organism, it is at risk for settlement.

Juvenile Sucker in Upper Klamath Lake, OR

This is a video of a juvenile sucker in Upper Klamath Lake, OR. Through decades of research, scientists at the USGS Western Fisheries Research Center have determined that over the last 30 years something has prevented young suckers from reaching adulthood. Scientists work tirelessly to find the cause of this break in recruitment into adulthood.

Eye Fluke Parasite

Fish health monitoring efforts in Upper Klamath Lake have revealed a high prevalence of warm water pathogens. The USGS Western Fisheries Research Center (WFRC) fish health team is investigating parasites as a potential threat to the vulnerable sucker populations.
