They should show the last part in boaters saftey courses to get your certification in michigan in my opinion.

I like this show :)

they are already at the colorado river. all california lakes require hull inspection before launching.

Very cool and I myself don’t know about zebra mussels

thats amazing... well, im here in florida, they are already here.

Our 200 acre lake in Illinois had mussels then we introduced Shellcrackers which is a Red Ear sunfish. Dont know if we have any now. I put one in a bucket for a day and it pooped ground up shells.

Damn things are all over the place here in Ontario

Came here after moss ball contamination in US.

I'm studying for my Zoology exam and watching this video helped me a lot since one of the questions in the test will be about this specific member of the Class Bivalvia. Thank you! Quick question by the way, what will happen to those Mussels after they're contained or captured? Just curious.

17:33. If it only takes one Michigan is doomed!

is the mussels living things?? anyone watching this in 2021?

I live in Canada on the north shore of Lake Erie and I remember when the zebra mussels came it has made a mess of the lakes and now the gobie is here and they really suck

The Material Sciences may have to come up with surfaces that these mussles can't adhere to. Using phemto cell lasers I think it's possible to do!

Would crawfish eat this muscles?

How do they even reproduce?

we can use these to kill of asain carp and then use crabs like norm lor was saying

sounds like better fertilizer than phosphate

Send in the Asian carp

99% of the commenters: obviously didn’t watch the whole video 🙄

Zebra mussels are so annoying I get them up in Lake Michigan

Maybe for ornamental fish rearing purpose they can be used as natural aquarium filter to make the water in the fish tanks clear so that one does not have to clean their fish tanks more often. My observation of sucker catfish to keep the fish tank clean is that overtime the tank still remain dirty because these sucker catfish can still poop a lot. These mussels can make the water look clear in short period, it means they can also be used to make the water look clear in any fish tank.

On a different note does anyone know if you can eat these if they are grow in clean water? Can they be used to make pearls? Some see Zebra and Quagga mussels as an invasive species but I see them as potential domestic species.

Places like texas dont even realize the market that just fell into there hands catch and sell them bcuz i no ppl that love them munch munch lol

Does it effect Lake Berryessa?

So what were we importing/exporting to/from Eastern Europe in 1995? And what ?

how about release puffer fish into the lake

Just put out a 4 cent per muscle bounty

I wondered why don't we just eat the mussels? are they not edible?

What do these scientists think will happen once the mussels run out of food? They'll drive themselves into extinction, just forget about eating fish, sorry, no more salmon. Lol

I cannot take man with flower accessory on his hair seriously

Ha ha, discharge your water? Almost every recreational boater I have met / boated with is too lazy to spend a few minutes to do so.

Isn't a world wide economy great
