Quagga Mussel Incident Susan Ellis California Department of Fish and Game September 13, 2007

Natural History Freshwater species Native to Ukraine and Russia A form of zebra mussels (Genus Dreissena ) Came to U.S. in late 1980’s (ballast water?) Very prolific: 1 million eggs/year Larvae free-swimming Adults can live at least a week out of water

California Concerns Spread readily – Vessels/Trailers/Water Environmental damage. Economic impacts. Eradication from Colorado River system unlikely.

What’s At Risk?

Dreissenid Mussel Range 1988

Range in 1998
