Low-dose copper application in Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota, to suppress zebra mussel veliger settlement

Evaluation of Copper as a Control Agent for Invasive Mussels

USGS researchers are investigating novel methods for the use of copper in dreissenid mussel (zebra and quagga mussels) control. Our research includes laboratory assays and field applications with a focus on understanding influences on efficacy and quantifying nontarget impacts. Our research has been and is conducted in collaboration with academic institutions, such as the University of Minnesota’s...
