Monitoring and Control of Macrofouling Mollusks in Fresh Water Systems
by Gerald Mackie and Renata Claudi
Pages: 550
Publisher: --
Edition: 2nd., 2009
Language: English
ISBN: 978-1439800508
Description
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:
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.
Enjoy! :up:

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
