Abstract

The zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha was first detected in the western basin of Lake Erie, Ontario, Canada, on natural gas wellheads and well markers between April and November 1986. It was found again in 1987 on the north shore of Lake Erie in a water treatment plant, and in vessel fouling. The population increased in Lake Erie in 1988. Dreissena may have spread from Lake Erie to Lake St. Clair, where it was then discovered on 1 June 1988.
