Mid-Continent Ecology Division has developed several databases and expert systems for researchers and risk assessors. These systems are useful in a range of activities including the hazard evaluation of new and existing chemicals and pesticides and the evaluation of impact assessments associated with effluent, leachate, and environmental monitoring data.

This Sea Grant Nonindigenous Species Site (SGNIS) is a project of the National Sea Grant College Program, produced by the Great Lakes Sea Grant Network. It is a national information center that contains a comprehensive collection of research publications and education materials produced by Sea Grant programs and other research institutions across the country on zebra mussels and other aquatic nuisance species. All materials available through this home page have either appeared in professional science journals or have been through a rigorous scientific review to ensure the quality of the information provided.
Number articles = 713.

The Ram Lab has been doing research on zebra mussels since 1990. Research has focussed on understanding mechanisms regulating zebra mussel reproduction; however, the effects of toxic chemicals and on the nonreproductive roles of neurotransmitters have also been studied.

Zebra Mussel Research Program.
The Zebra Mussel Research Program (ZMRP) was authorized by the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act of 1990, Public Law 101-646, and is the only federally authorized research program for the development of technology to control zebra mussels.

Zebra Mussel Abstract. Zebra Mussel and Aquatic Nuisance Species.
Reviews the nature, transport, control, and regulation of numerous nonindigenous nuisance species, describes their ecology, effects, and environmental impacts in various freshwater habitats, conveys research results and some economic evaluation of methods to control the spread of these nuisance species, especially in cooling and service water systems, and addresses technology transfer, education, and outreach as well as sociological and related issues. Methods, concepts, and background information are also provided to prevent the future introduction of nuisance species into aquatic ecosystems as well as limit their spread and economic impact.
