Impacts of zebra mussel invasion on offshore sediments of western Lake Erie / J.P. Coakley, Glenn R. Brown, Stefan E. Ioannou, and Murray N. Charlton. : En13-5/96-77E-PDF
"Zebra mussels (Dreissena) have expanded rapidly throughout most of the Laurentian Great Lakes since their release in 1986. These exotic mollusks now occur in great numbers on the bottom of western Lake Erie where they are now found increasingly in deeper areas of the basin Erie (average depth: 10 m), on soft, muddy substrates. This study is aimed at quantifying the density and the distribution patterns of mussel colonization in the basin as a first step in investigating the effect on key sediment properties of such an abrupt change in benthic community structure. By linking their distribution with substrate properties, we hope to identify key processes and controls on colonization"--Abstract.
