Patterns in the distribution and abundance of zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) in the St. Lawrence River in relation to substrate and other physico-chemical factors
Using SCUBA and an in situ method of quantifying substrate characteristics, I describe patterns of zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) distribution along the St. Lawrence and Hudson Rivers and in Oneida Lake, New York, and develop empirical models for their abundance. Calcium-poor waters originating...
