SUMMARY:Webinar: Controlling Dreissenids with Copper
DESCRIPTION:IMC Webinar: \nControlling Dreissenids with Copper\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Summary: \nTune in to hear about the latest research on copper applications to control invasive mussels in a variety of aquatic environments. Presentations will dive into challenges and opportunities learned through the treatment of zebra and quagga mussels in lake\, river\, and reservoir ecosystems. You will hear from experts at the U.S Geological Survey\, Colorado Parks and Wildlife\, and the University of Minnesota’s Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here! \nPresentations include: \n\n\n\n\n\n1) Quashing Quagga: Fate and Effects to the Benthic Community of a Copper Treatment to Eradicate Invasive Mussels in a Large Western River – Presenter: Austin Baldwin\, U.S. Geological Survey\nCopper-based chemical treatments are commonly used to eradicate invasive mussels in small ponds and lakes\, but their use in large rivers has been limited. In 2023\, in response to a detection of invasive quagga mussels\, a 10-kilometer reach of the Snake River (Idaho\, USA)\, was treated with an unprecedented 19\,300 kg of chelated copper molluscicide to a target concentration of 1\,000 µg/L for 10 days. We assessed the transport and fate of the copper\, its accumulation in sediments\, and its exposure and effects on the non-target benthic community downstream. Findings from this study can help watershed managers plan future invasive mussel responses while protecting culturally\, economically\, and ecologically important non-target species in large rivers. \n____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \n\n \n2) Challenges of Eradication Efforts for Zebra Mussels in Highline Lake\, Colorado\, using EarthTec QZ – Presenters: Tawni Firestone & Robert Walters Colorado Parks and Wildlife\nFollowing the detection of an isolated population of zebra mussels in Highline Lake\, Colorado\, in 2022\, an eradication effort was initiated in spring 2023. The reservoir was lowered by approximately 9.1 meters and EarthTec® QZ\, a copper-based EPA-registered molluscicide\, was applied at 4 ppm (240 μg L-1 copper). Water samples were collected prior to\, during\, and following the treatment to monitor copper concentrations and water quality parameters. An average 148.95 ± 43.46 μg L-1 dissolved copper concentrations was observed across all treatments\, with variations influenced by depth and timing of application. Sufficient copper distribution was achieved throughout the reservoir\, as confirmed by water sample analysis and geostatistical modeling. However\, suboptimal water temperatures (below 7 °C for extended periods) were maintained during the treatment. The continued presence of veligers and adult mussels in late summer 2023 was revealed by post-treatment monitoring\, indicating an unsuccessful eradication attempt. A subsequent\, more intensive retreatment in fall 2023 was completed and involved higher EarthTec QZ concentrations (8 ppm; 480 μg L-1 copper) prior to complete draining of the reservoir. Average copper concentrations were 384.79 ± 38.62 μg L-1 and slightly higher temperatures than the first treatment were observed (8.87 ± 0.98 °C). The second treatment demonstrated more effectiveness\, as no living zebra mussel or veliger detections were observed in the reservoir in 2024. The reservoir was then drained to allow for complete freezing and desiccation of any remaining mus sels over the winter 2024. While no live zebra mussels were detected within the reservoir post-draining\, two veliger detections were recently confirmed following the refilling of Highline Lake in 2025\, with reinfestation likely occurring via the Colorado River during this process. The challenges of zebra mussel eradication\, particularly the importance of optimizing treatment timing with respect to water temperature\, copper bioavailability\, and site location are highlighted in our study. \n  \n____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \n\n4) Managing the Unmanageable: Preparing for the First Whole-Lake Copper Treatment for Zebra Mussels in Minnesota – Presenter: Olivia Nyffeler\, The University of Minnesota’s Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center\nZebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) have spread to nearly 380 lakes across Minnesota and once established\, are difficult to remove. Prevention remains the primary strategy due to its cost-effectiveness and ability to limit spread; however\, once a lake becomes infested\, effective management options are limited. Previous work has evaluated low-dose copper treatments at large spatial scales with promising results. Applications in bays of Lake Minnetonka (MN) have demonstrated reductions in zebra mussel settlement and veliger densities while minimizing impacts to native mussels and other non-target communities. Building on these findings\, Lake Riley\, a 296-acre mesotrophic lake in Eden Prairie/Chanhassen\, MN\, was selected for Minnesota’s first whole-lake low-dose copper treatment using EarthTec QZ. This project integrates whole-lake treatment with comprehensive ecosystem monitoring and coordination among state\, federal\, and local partners. This presentation will describe treatment implementation\, monitoring design\, and early insights\, and will discuss how results from this effort can inform the development of a real-world framework for managing established zebra mussel populations and restoring ecosystem function. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Webinar: Golden Mussel Planning & Response
DESCRIPTION:IMC Webinar: Golden Mussel Planning & Response\n \nWebinar Summary: \nThis webinar highlights perspectives on the issue of invasive golden mussels (Limnoperna fortunei). A panel of six experts will discuss the global distribution\, biology\, ecology\, and impacts of golden mussel as well as the role of ballast water in their introduction to the United States. Four western U.S. states will also provide an update on their response and planning efforts as a result of the detection of golden mussels in California in October 2024.\n\n\n\n\n  \nPresentations include: \n\n\n\n\n\n1) The Golden Mussel Ecological Risk Screening Summary – Presenter: Kate Wyman-Grothem\, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Midwest Region 3 \nThis presentation will briefly summarize what is known about the global distribution\, biology\, ecology\, and impacts of introduction of the golden mussel (Limnoperna fortunei). It will also share the results of an updated climate matching analysis to predict potential for golden mussel establishment within the contiguous United States\, with special emphasis on the Great Lakes region. \n____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \n\n2) Golden Mussel updates from California – Presenter: Martha Volkoff\, California Department of Fish and Wildlife \nGolden mussel were detected in California on October 17\, 2024\, the first known occurrence of this species in North America. Over the past year state\, federal\, and local agencies\, academia\, and diverse partners have worked to prevent the further introduction of golden mussel to non-hydrologically connected waters\, protect the environment\, critical water conveyance\, flood protection\, and power generation infrastructure\, and the economy of the state. \n____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \n\n3) Knowns\, unknowns\, and assumptions about the role of ballast water in the introduction of golden mussels to California  – Presenter: Chris Scianni\, California State Lands Commission’s Marine Invasive Species Program \nThis presentation will summarize the information we know\, the information we think we know\, the information we do not know\, and general assumptions about the detection and introduction of golden mussels in California. The presentation will also cover the likely role that commercial shipping\, and ballast water in particular\, likely played in the introduction\, and what the state of California is doing to minimize the likelihood of spread to neighboring states and the likelihood of future introductions of fresh or brackish water species into California’s fresh or brackish water ports.  \n____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \n\n4) Lake Tahoe AIS Prevention – Presenter: Dennis Zabaglo\, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency\nThis presentation will provide an overview of Lake Tahoe’s AIS prevention program and response to the golden mussel discovery.  \n  \n  \n____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \n\n5) Sleepless in Seattle: Staying Ahead of the Golden Mussel in the Evergreen State – Presenter: Justin Bush\, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife \nGolden mussels may glitter\, but their impacts are anything but shiny. In South America\, where they are well established\, this invasive species clog infrastructure\, alter ecosystems\, and drive-up costs—one 2018 report estimated more than $120 million in annual impacts to Brazil’s electricity sector alone. With the first North American detection in California\, Washington is wide awake—assessing risks\, watching key pathways like ballast water and overland conveyances\, and gearing up with early detection and response readiness. This talk will share how the Evergreen State is preparing before golden mussels can get a foothold\, why prevention beats cleanup every time\, and how collaboration across regions will help us all sleep a little easier.  \n____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \n\n6) Updates from Montana – Presenter: Thomas Woolf\, Montana Fish\, Wildlife & Parks\, Western Regional Panel on Aquatic Nuisance Species \nThis presentation will include perspectives from Montana and the Western Regional Panel on the golden mussel invasion as well as current response efforts. \n\n

SUMMARY:Webinar - Clash of the shells: Dreissenid mussel impacts on native molluscs
DESCRIPTION:Presentations: \nThe limited co-existence of zebra mussels and native mussels in the Richelieu River over the past 25 years by Kennedy Zwarych\, McGill University \nNorth American unionid mussel populations have experienced significant mortality due to competition and fouling by the Eurasian zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha. Habitats whose water chemistry is suboptimal for the zebra mussel could plausibly serve as refugia in which unionids and zebra mussels co-exist. The Richelieu River\, invaded by the zebra mussel in the mid-1990s\, has a mean calcium concentration (∼18 mg/L) and is suggested to be sub-optimal for supporting a dense population of zebra mussels capable of severely damaging unionids. Using a 25-year dataset of SCUBA surveys\, we tested how unionid diversity and abundance have changed along with zebra mussel fouling levels in the river over time. Despite predictions by some risk assessments\, unionid diversity and abundance in the Richelieu River have eroded to a similar extent and followed a similar timeline of population decline as has been observed in invaded calcium-rich habitats. This presentation will explore the results of this dataset and hypothesize explanations for the patterns observed. \nMultiple invasions decimate the most imperiled freshwater invertebrates in by Alexander Y Karatayev\, Buffalo State College \nInvaders can have devastating impacts on freshwater ecosystems\, but these impacts can subside over time as ecosystems “adapt” to the invasion of new species. We analyzed changes in species composition and density of molluscs in Oneida Lake (New York\, USA)\, one of the best studied North American lakes based on detailed surveys conducted in 1915-17\, 1967-68\, 1992-95\, 2012\, and 2022-23\, and on annual benthic surveys from 2009 through 2023. Eutrophication and habitat alteration after 1920 resulted in a 25% decline in species richness and a 95% decline in the density of native gastropods by 1967\, while species richness of unionids did not change. The arrival of zebra mussels in 1991 and quagga mussels in 2005 was associated with an increase in species richness and density of native gastropods and an extirpation of unionids by 1995. However\, an invasion by the round goby in 2013 led to a significant decline across all gastropod families\, disproportionately impacting soft-shelled and shallow-dwelling species\, while other species\, including invasive dreissenids\, partially recovered 3 to 7 years after the goby invasion. This mollusc recovery was depth-related and was limited to deeper areas. Altogether\, molluscan communities were sensitive to ecosystem change and invasives species\, with some invaders offsetting the impacts of eutrophication and habitat alterations. While individual stressors have taxon-specific and sometimes positive impacts\, eutrophication and species invasions have collectively decimated the native mollusc community over the past century.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Assessing the risks of zebra mussel establishment along the western United States invasion front
DESCRIPTION:Presentations:\nTools to identify water bodies critical to the western spread of an invasive species by David Creamer\, Michigan State University Department of Fisheries and Wildlife \nDamaging aquatic invasive species\, such as the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha)\, pose an ongoing concern for potential introduction and establishment in the western United States. This study applied habitat suitability indices and network analysis to identify lakes critical to the continued westward spread and establishment of zebra mussels from a key invasion front in Texas. Creamer at al. created multiple networks consisting of lake nodes and connecting roadway edges. Via graph analysis\, lakes critical to mussel spread by acting as hubs\, stepping stones\, or cut points in each network were identified. Additionally\, this presentation will cover the development of a production constrained gravity model. This model is used to simulate the movement of boats within the study area as a proxy for introduction risk and is combined with habitat suitability indices to estimate the overall invasion risk to lakes in Texas and eastern New Mexico. \nDon’t move a mussel: The role of key environmental drivers and management scale in assessing spatial variation in dreissenid spread risk in the Missouri River basin by Michael Springborn and Joseph Raymond\, University of California Davis \nManagement efforts such as watercraft inspection and detection programs that attempt to intercept infected watercraft can help limit dreissenid mussel spread\, but optimizing the effectiveness of these programs under limited resources is complicated. There is limited work that has considered the heterogeneous impact of protection efforts across different regions and waterbodies. Knowledge about this heterogeneity can highlight regions that would benefit the most from protection as well as regions that would require less effort to protect\, e.g.\, areas with naturally unsuitable water quality for dreissenids. To this end\, the research team constructed a composite relative risk index (CRR) for watersheds within the Missouri River Basin\, a region in the United States on the front line of dreissenid spread. The CRR uses a model that mirrors an expected value model but uses relative indexing as a proxy for the model components. The CRR incorporates a wide array of data sets to account for the direct and indirect damages from a potential infestation along with the risk of an infestation occurring. The CRR index includes user-specified weights for certain parameters so that a user can adjust the relative importance of various factors to match their specific context. An accompanying web tool allows users to view the CRR results and adjust multiple parameters to see the resulting impacts on the CCR for watersheds in the Missouri River Basin.

SUMMARY:Webinar: The duality of shell deposition: how zebra mussel shells introduce a novel substrate in urban and degrade habitat in rural streams
DESCRIPTION:The duality of shell deposition: how zebra mussel shells introduce a novel substrate in urban and degrade habitat in rural streams by Darrin Hunt with the University of the Ozarks in Clarksville\, Arkansas \nPresentation Description: Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) have invaded surface waters throughout North America and Western Europe\, including urban and rural streams. Their proliferation has resulted in the deposition of sharp\, jagged shells in benthic environments\, which have physically altered the stream’s pre-invasion structure. This research details how zebra mussel shell deposits can obscure stream substrates\, causing changes for native benthos\, and explores how these impacts differ between urban and rural ecosystems. In-situ mesocosms composed of varying combinations of zebra mussel shells and natural river cobble were used to evaluate zebra mussel shells as a novel colonization substrate for macroinvertebrate communities in urban and rural reaches of three temperate streams in Southeastern Michigan. We found that macroinvertebrate communities in urban streams preferred high-density dreissenid shell substrates rather than those with fewer shells and cobble. However\, sensitive gilled organisms (Ephemeroptera\, Plecoptera\, and Trichoptera) favored natural cobble substrates in rural streams. Rural streams commonly feature naturally heterogeneous benthic habitats\, which can become homogenized by high-density shell deposits. Contrarily\, shells may provide increased habitat structure and benthic complexity in urban systems\, which may have been lost through channelization\, sedimentation\, and fragmentation. Thus\, macroinvertebrates may benefit from additional habitat introduced by D. polymorpha shell deposits as a novel substrate in urban streams. Despite a consensus that invasive species negatively impact ecosystems\, the legacy of dreissenid shell deposition in highly degraded urban systems yields unexpected positive outcomes.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Lessons learned and alternative management
DESCRIPTION:A partial recording of the webinar is available now\n \nPresenters Angelique Dahlberg Ph.D. candidate with University of Minnesota\, and Matt Barbour Biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey present on lessons learned from control projects and alternative low-dose copper treatment. \nAngelique Dahlberg\nUniversity of Minnesota\nTitle: Lessons learned from open-water dreissenid mussel control projects in North America \nDescription: Dreissenid mussel control projects have been ongoing since about 2004\, yet the methods used and degree of reporting have varied greatly. We conducted a search for and meta-analysis of open-water dreissenid mussel control projects that have occurred in North America\, including from published and unpublished reports. In this presentation\, I will present information on 33 open-water dreissenid mussel control projects in 23 lakes across North America. In particular\, I will share elements of both successful and failed projects\, cover knowledge gaps\, and highlight suggestions that could contribute to future dreissenid management actions. \nMatt Barbour\nU.S. Geological Survey\nTitle: Low-dose copper treatment for dreissenid mussel control as an alternative to traditional management strategy \nDescription: Copper is a widely used product in aquatic systems largely to control algae and is the active ingredient in the molluscicide EarthTec QZ\, one of the few registered products for open water dreissenid mussel control. Many dreissenid mussel control actions have targeted concentrations near the US Environmental Protection Agency’s 1 mg Cu/L limitation with the goal of eradicating a dreissenid population. Treatments at elevated copper concentrations can be highly toxic to nontarget aquatic communities and produce limited success with eradication of invasive mussels. As an alternative to the traditional eradication strategy\, we performed two open water\, low-dose copper application of EarthTec QZ in 2019 and 2022. Our treatment concentrations\, 60-100 µg Cu/L\, were an order of magnitude lower than the maximum allowed. The goals of the treatments were twofold 1) to reduce zebra mussel veliger densities and juvenile settlement therefore reduce recruitment into the breeding population in subsequent years and 2) to minimize adverse impacts to nontarget communities. We monitored non-target communities\, water chemistry\, and zebra mussel settlement before\, during\, and up to three years after the applications. This presentation summarizes the treatments\, assesses them within the functional eradication framework\, identifies knowledge gaps for future investigations\, and discusses implications for resource managers in applying this strategy. \nPresentation summary:  \n\nThe 2019 low-dose copper treatment (~85 µg Cu2+/L) administered to a 66.3 ha bay on Lake Minnetonka (Hennepin County\, MN) reduced veliger density and settlement through the following year.\nThe non-target zooplankton community was affected the year of the treatment\, but abundance\, diversity\, and community structure resembled the pretreatment assessments by the following summer. The non-target benthic community did not show signs of treatment related impacts.\nAn additional low-dose copper treatment was administered to a 125.6 ha bay on Lake Minnetonka in 2022. Data for this treatment is being amassed for analysis and monitoring is planned through 2023.\nWe are still amassing data from the 2022 field season for the 2022 treatment and for the final year of the 2019 treatment monitoring.

SUMMARY:Webinar: The role of dreissenid mussels in nutrient cycling
DESCRIPTION:Recorded: January 25\, 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET. \nPresenters Sergei Katsev\, University of Minnesota-Duluth and Derek Schlea\, LimnoTech will present the latest research on the role dreissenid mussels play in nutrient cycling. \nNutrient recycling in sediments in the era of quagga mussels\nSergei Katsev\, University of Minnesota – Duluth \nSediment processes recycle nutrients back to the water column and regulate their long-term availability to primary producers. This talk will discuss how the spread of the quagga mussels over the bottoms of the Great Lakes has affected nutrient biogeochemistry. The availability of phosphorus\, in particular\, is now tied to the dynamics of mussel populations\, while the role of external P inputs is diminished. \nLake Erie Ecosystem Model (LEEM): Assessing Ecosystem Indicators for the Western\, Central\, and Eastern Basins\nDerek Schlea\, LimnoTech \nThe Lake Erie Ecosystem Model is a process-based water quality and lower food web model that is configured to simulate the three significant endpoints in Lake Erie: harmful algal blooms in the Western Basin\, hypoxia in the Central Basin\, and nuisance Cladophora growth in the Eastern Basin. The LEEM framework provides a tool that can be used to evaluate the response of these endpoints to a variety of stressors\, including external nutrient loadings\, meteorological conditions\, and dreissenid mussels. This presentation will introduce the LEEM with an emphasis on the dreissenid mussel sub-model including initialization and preliminary results from diagnostic scenarios.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Exploration of HABs and Invasive Mussel Interactions
DESCRIPTION:Recorded January 24\, 2017 2:00pm-3:30pm ET \nThe webinar focuses on the theories of interactions between Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) and invasive mussels\, and the possible environmental influences these interactions may have. While nutrient loading is widely accepted as the primary driver behind HABs\, recent research has indicated that secondary interactions and relationships may exist between HABs and invasive mussels. This joint webinar was hosted by the Harmful Algal Blooms Collaboratory and the Invasive Mussel Collaborative. \nPresenters:\n\nDr. Donna Kashian\, Wayne State University: HABs and dreissenid mussel reproduction\n\nDr. Kashian is a visiting scientist with NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory and is a professor at Wayne State University. Her research focuses on the impacts of disturbance on water quality\, encompassing both natural disturbances such as algal toxins and sedimentation\, as well as those caused by humans\, including contaminants\, climate change\, and introduced species. Centered in the largely urban center of Detroit\, Michigan\, her lab’s research has been implemented into community-based educational programs to better inform the public of environmental health threats associated with many water quality disturbances.\n\n\nDr. Henry Vanderploeg\, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration: HABs spatial influence and palatability \n\nDr. Vanderploeg is a Research Ecologist and Ecosystem Dynamics Branch Chief at NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory\, where he has spent most of his career studying the lower food web\, invasive species\, and spatial interactions of the food web. His research interests include food web interactions\, particularly feeding mechanisms and life cycle strategies of plankton and benthos; and spatial distribution and interactions of all food web components.\n\n\nJames Larson\, U.S. Geological Survey: HABs as a source of nutrition\n\nDr. Larson is a Research Fisheries Biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey at the Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center\, where he studies biogeochemistry and food web dynamics in rivers\, lakes and the nearshore zones of the North American Great Lakes.\n\n\n\nPresentations:\n\nEffects of cyanobacteria on quagga mussel (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) reproduction-Dr. Donna Kashian\nThe mussel-HAB collaboration: biophysical and nutrient interactions lead to toxic Microcystis dominance-Dr. Henry Vanderploeg
