Dreissena Laboratory Toxicity and Open Water Control Test Methods

The Toxicity Testing Work Group of the Invasive Mussel Collaborative reviewed and compiled published studies and reports on dreissenid control studies, both laboratory-based toxicity studies and open water treatments using molluscicides.  The table on the first tab displays the collection of literature reviewed for dreissenid laboratory toxicity test methods. The table on the second tab displays the collection of literature for open water treatment test methods.

To search the papers listed below, click the search bar in the table header below and then type in a keyword, author, journal, toxicant, or year and the table will filter the results. 

A file containing both laboratory and open water test methods presented below can be downloaded Here. (Last updated: 8/9/2022)
