S&T Project 21035 Final Report: Invasive Mussels and Harmful Algal Blooms: Interactions and Detection Methods

Published by Bureau of Reclamation | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: April 18, 2026 at 01:17 AM | Dataset Last Updated: September 21, 2021 at 06:14 PM
Both quagga (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) and zebra (Dreissena polymorpha) (QM/ZM) and harmful algal blooms (HABs) are topics of concern in the western United States. As QM/ZM continue to spread into new waterbodies, there is more opportunity for potential interactions between these invasive mussels and algae communities. Understanding how these two separate issues impact each other is important for researchers and water managers. This scooping proposal was a literature review to assess the research that has been performed. Appendix A contains a list of State and Federal web based HAB resources. Appendix B contains selected abstracts that show the connections between HABs and QM/ZM. Some of interactions involve QM/ZM feeding on algae, water quality impacts, and algal impacts on mussel fertility. Understanding the interactions between QM/ZM and algal blooms is important as both issues continue to increase.
