Abstract

Dreissenid mussels are one of the most problematic aquatic invasive species (AIS) in North America, causing significant ecological and economic impacts in waterbodies where established. To date, dreissenid mussel control efforts in open water have included physical, biological, and chemical methods. The feasibility of successfully managing or even eradicating dreissenid mussels in lakes is relatively undocumented and unstudied in freshwater management literature. Additionally, control efforts are sometimes stymied by perceptions that the impacts to nontarget species will be unacceptable. The published literature evaluating both these two aspects is limited. Here, we present information on 33 open water dreissenid mussel control projects in 23 lakes across North America. Projects were categorized as rapid response eradication (n=16), established population eradication (n=8), suppression (n=3), or research (n=6).

Description

We collected information on all open-water dreissenid mussel control projects that have occurred in North America through direct contact to natural resource professionals as well as an exhaustive review of published literature. We contacted resource managers and researchers within the invasive species community, including The Invasive Mussel Collaborative listserv (https://invasivemusselcollaborative.net), staff from control product vendors (i.e., Earth Science Labs, Marrone Bio Innovations, and ASI Group Ltd.), and staff within agencies who are known to have conducted treatments (i.e., Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR), US Geological Survey (USGS)), and others identified by the initial contacts. The final list was shared with the Invasive Mussel Collaborative to confirm all control projects were identified. We requested all available information on the control project from the project manager, including summary reports, raw data, personal communication, and maps. Available data were organized in a narrative format and Microsoft Access database (with CSV versions of each table in the zip file) and categorized into pre-treatment, treatment, or post-treatment activities.
