Microplastics exposure could be detrimental to marine organisms especially under high
concentrations. However, few studies have considered the multiphasic nature of marine …

Since the first edition was published, a second invasive dreissenid, the quagga mussel, has
become established in the western US and is rapidly spreading. This book provides the first …

Invasive freshwater mussels, such as the zebra (Dreissena polymorpha), quagga
(Dreissena rostriformis bugensis), and golden (Limnoperna fortunei) mussel have spread …

The invasion of dreissenid mussels into inland waters of the Northern Hemisphere has
received considerable attention and, both zebra mussels and quagga mussels continue to …

The golden mussel (Limnoperna fortunei) is a filter-collector macroinvertebrate species
originating from southern China. It easily invades water transfer tunnels and attaches onto …

Understanding the response of grass carp to flow and turbulence regimes during early life
stages is fundamental to monitoring and controlling their spread. A comprehensive set of …

Mussel colonization can affect the water quality through restructuring nearby bacterial
communities. In this study, we conducted an experiment to detect the bacterial alteration …

The role of turbulence in aquaculture facilities is a multi-faceted, largely unexplored, and
potentially important topic in understanding the energetics and behavior of rearing fishes …

The early life stages of Dreissena polymorpha were studied in Lough Key, Co. Roscommon,
Ireland during the reproductive season, 1998-2003. This involved weekly sampling of …

The present study uses eddy‐resolving numerical simulations to investigate how bed
roughness affects flow and turbulence structure around an isolated, partially‐buried mussel …
