Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To establish temperatures required for thermal backwash protocols, resistance times of zebra mussels (10 mm length) were determined in laboratory experiments using mussels acclimated to temperatures of 5C, 10C, 20C and 25C. Test temperatures ranged from 34C-38C. In each experiment, 10-12 groups (each of 10 mussels) were exposed to the test temperature for prescribed intervals and examined to determine percentage mortality. Two replicate tests were run for each temperature. Regressions of percentage mortality (probit scale) against exposure time (log scale) were used to estimate times for first mortality, 50 and 100 percent mortality.

Download or read book Zebra Mussels Biology Impacts and Control written by Thomas F. Nalepa and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1992-11-24 with total page 848 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction and rapid spread of the zebra mussel in North American waters has caused great concern among industrial and recreational users of these waters. This bivalve mollusk is a biofouler that attaches to any firm substrate (e.g. rocks, piers, water intake pipes, boat hulls) and has already created significant problems for raw water users such as water treatment plants and power plants. Zebra Mussels: Biology, Impacts and Control provides essential information regarding the biology of the zebra mussel in North America and Europe, presents case studies of environmental and industrial impacts, and outlines control strategies. Summary articles detail its life history, origins, and morphology. The book also examines techniques used to culture and maintain this organism in the laboratory. Thirty-two color plates illustrate some of the dramatic problems created by the explosive population growth of this species. Zebra Mussels: Biology, Impacts, and Control is an important resource for ecologists, conservationists, environmental consultants, water quality engineers, regulatory officials, power utilities, and libraries.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study to determine the effects of positive and negative pressure on the survival rate of zebra mussels was undertaken as part of a research program to prevent the attachment of zebra mussels to the inside of water intake facilities and piping networks. These preliminary experiments were carried out to explore the observation that few mussels were observed in the pressurized station fire fighting systems. This report discusses the parameters, equipment, techniques, results and recommendations of a program aimed at determining the effects of vacuum, low pressure and high pressure on the mortality of juvenile zebra mussels.
