Neuware - Since the publication of the first edition, several types of mollusks have become troublesome in regard to agriculture, water quality, irrigation, and industrial piping in general. For example, the quagga mussel has crossed the continental divide of North America and is now causing significant problems. This new edition features international case histories presenting mussel fouling problems and how to cope with them. The book also addresses the impact and control of invasive snails and details monitoring techniques that have been developed in recent years. The authors also outline the latest threats and explore potential scenarios involving invasive biofouling of freshwater mollusks.

Upon its initial publication more than fifteen years ago, this book broke new ground with its comprehensive coverage of the biology and ecology, distribution and dispersal mechanisms, physiology, monitoring, negative and positive impacts, and control of aquatic invasive species of mussels, clams, and snails. Building on this foundation, the second edition of Monitoring and Control of Macrofouling Mollusks in Fresh Water Systems includes completely revised information on species such as the zebra mussel while also covering up-and-coming nuisance species such as the quagga mussel, Conrad’s false mussel, the Asian clam, and the fast-spreading golden mussel.
The Second Edition includes:
- Ten new species of mussels and snails
- International case studies on mussel fouling problems and how to cope with them
- New control and monitoring techniques
- Discussions of the latest threats and possible future scenarios
The book contains brief descriptions of the external and internal structures, examining only those features relevant to the monitoring and control of the invasive species. It discusses why the mollusks are pests, distinguishing nuisance species from native species, their habits and habitat, reproductive potential, and life cycles and population dynamics. The authors also explain how efficient dispersal mechanisms employed by the nuisance mollusks not only help them spread so rapidly to inland lakes and rivers across continents, but how they can invade virtually every part of a facility.
While many other resources contain segments of this information, none cover all areas and link them in a cohesive fashion. It is this approach that makes the understanding of potential impacts on ecosystems, industries and utilities, as well as the many human-made physical and chemical mitigants for controlling the mollusks supplied by this book so crucial for preserving the health of raw water supplies.
