Quagga Mussel Veliger Research

Colorado State University is partnering with Willow Beach NFH to conduct research on invasive quagga mussel. The focus of the research is to analyze survival of quagga mussel veligers at different water temperatures over time. The ultimate goal is to understand how to sterilize fish eggs in quagga-positive waters for use in hatchery production. Research is ongoing through the summer.

The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with
others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants and
their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.
