The effects of 28-day exposure to elevated C02 on survival, growth and condition of the juvenile life stage of Lampsilis siliquoidea and Lampsilis higginsii mussels
In study AEH-14-COr02, Lampsilis siliquoidea juveniles were exposed to four treatments of CO2, ranging from 43 to 266 mg/L, for 28 days, followed by 17 days post-exposure in untreated water. The resultant median lethal concentration of CO2 that caused 50% mortality (LC50) was 78 ±13 mg/L. The targeted field concentration of a CO2 barrier is 70-80 mg/L. The present study intends to repeat the...
Evaluation of lethal and sublethal responses of dreissenid and unionid mussels to elevated carbon dioxide
Control technology for dreissenid mussels currently relies heavily on chemical molluscicides that can be both costly and ecologically harmful. There is a need to develop more environmentally neutral control tools to manage dreissenid mussels. Carbon dioxide has shown toxicity to several species of invasive bivalves, including zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) and the Asian clam (Corbicula...
