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.

Previous studies on the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) have examined tolerance limits of dissolved oxygen and temperatures that can be used in controlling this exotic pest. This study wanted to determine if colonization of the zebra mussel in the Atchafalaya Basin would be deterred by the natural seasonal phenomenon of increased temperatures and decreased oxygen saturation.
