Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zebra mussel feeding was restricted by reduced delivery of algae into the less-turbulent "concentration boundary layer" and by competition within the mussel colony for algae. I measured the relative magnitude of algal consumption by zooplankton in situ and by mussels in the lab relative to lake algal abundance and photosynthesis. Although seasonal phytoplankton successional patterns typical of north temperate lakes without zebra mussels have persisted after mussels became established in western Lake Erie, total phytoplankton biomasses were lower and Cyanobacteria rarer. However, changes in nutrient concentrations can account for shifts in algal species composition. Based on a comparison of primary productivity and algal standing crop phytoplankton were capable of reproducting once or twice a day. Grazing by free swimming, large-bodied crustacean zooplankton was sufficient to explain seasonal changes in algal abundance without considering zebra mussel impact at all. Even when seasonally abundant (maximum of 750 L-1 during August 1993), zebra mussel veligers grazed pelagic algae at an insignificant rate (generally 1- 3% with a maximum of 7.1%) relative to other zooplankton. Thus, potentially only the benthic adult zebra mussel stage with its larger biomass could be significantly impacting phytoplankton. Grazing by sedentary adult zebra mussels present in high densities was insufficient to overwhelm phytoplankton production.

Book excerpt: "The literature on zebra mussels and their effect on the Great Lakes ecosystem dates, of necessity, back only to the mid-1980's. This was when these exotic mollusks were introduced accidentally into Lake St. Clair, via ballast water dumped from a European vessel. The bibliography presented here combines the Great lakes literature with older European references dealing with the interaction of zebra mussels and their sediment substrate. It is intended as an aid for researchers into the associated processes and relationships"--Abstract, page 1.
