Quagga Mussel Information
Zebra VS Quaggas:
- Quaggas are the dominant species of the two and will displace Zebras.
- Quaggas tolerate colder temperatures, and are more abundant at greater depths, reproduce at lower temperatures, and are more likely to grow in single layers and produce more patchy distributions.
- Unlike Zebras, Quaggas don't necessarily need hard substates to attach and grow. They can grow on the soft, silty bottom sediments.
