| One of the concerns over the invasion of zebra mussels in the Upper Mississippi River (UMR) system is the rapid colonization of these organisms in backwater regions with accompanying changes in water/sediment quality and habitat value. It is expected that zebra mussels will have a pronounced effect on the sediment and water column micro-environment after colonization. For instance, zebra mussels can graze seston (phytoplankton) and, because of their high densities, ... |
