Invasive Species: The Destructive Nature Of Zebra Mussels
Up to date reports from Texas Parks and Wildlife indicate that a live Zebra Mussel was discovered attached to ship in Lake Texoma. The Zebra Mussel is an invasive species of shellfish that’s native to the Caspian Sea area of East Asia. They are said to have been carried to the Great Lakes in 1988 by a transoceanic vessel.
Since discovered in the Western Hemisphere in the late 80′s, the mussel has done billions of greenbacks worth of damage to boats, docks, water treatment plants and hydro-electric producing systems like the one found at Denison Dam. Already, the mussel has been found in the Great Lakes, the Mississippi, Ohio, Michigan, Cumberland, Missouri, Tennessee, and Arkansas River systems.
These finger-nail sized shells attach to anything submerged in the water and reproduce at high rate. The female Zebra Mussel can produce up to 1,000,000 eggs every year. The eggs grow into larvae and in 3 weeks start to cluster into shells on rocks, dock pilings, ship hulls or any other solid objects.
Most biologists predict that the mussel is spread to new bodies of water thru trailered ship traffic. At this time, there’s no effective remedy for extracting them once the shellfish is established. Though crawfish and carp are known to feed on these mussels, there’s no predator that can noticeably reduce its numbers.
There’s some proof that the mussels had a positive effect on the smallmouth bass population in the Great Lakes. This is due to the fact that the zebra mussels filter the water and make it obvious. The clear water lets daylight penetrate more deeply into the water column therefore helping algae grow across the year. The mussels also clear out pollutants that result in the fish living in better quality water.
But biologists are concerned about the effect the mussels will have on the baitfish populations in our southern impoundments. The Zebra Mussels feed on similar minute organisms as our shad and tiddlers. If this lowers the quantity of baitfish, it may have a very unwanted impact on game fish such as bass, crappie, perch, and catfish.Right now the best defense is to power wash all boats going to different bodies of water. Also, if you identify the Zebra Mussel or any other invasive species in any lake or river, report the finding to the Texas Parks and Wildlife.
