Quagga Facts/ Trivia

What are the Currently Effective Control Methods Used for Mussels?

Methods of Control:[1] Oxygen Deprivation | Temperature Treatments | Exposure and Dessication| Ultraviolet Radiation | Manual Scraping | High-pressure Jetting | Mechanical Filtration | Passive and Barrier Filtration | Removable Substrates | Chemicals (Chlorine) or Molluscicides | Ozone | Antifouling Coatings | Electric Currents| Sonic Vibration | Natural Predators or Biological Controls| Bacteria (Pseudomonas Fluorescens)


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.
