Evaluation of Carbon Dioxide to Control Dresseinid Mussels
USGS research on carbon dioxide (CO2 ) has shown its effectiveness and relative selectivity as a control tool for nuisance mussels, zebra and quagga mussels ( Dreissena spp.). Infusing low concentrations of CO2 into water lines can prevent settlement and attachment of larval (veliger) stages of dreissenid mussels. Short-term exposure to higher concentrations of CO2 can cause detachment and...
