Quagga Mussels:
Introduction |
Report Description:
An invasive aquatic species called the zebra mussel made a splash in the Great Lakes in the late 1980's. That's when it first arrived in the ballast water of ocean going ships. Now the zebra mussel has met its match. It's being eaten out of house and home by one of its relatives called the quagga mussel. Producer Liz Koerner talks with UW-Milwaukee WATER Institute scientists, Russel Kuhel and Carmen Aguilar, who are trying to find out how big a bite these new invasive quagga mussels are taking out of the food chain below the surface of Lake Michigan. Koerner also finds out how the quagga is affecting the livelihood of commercial fishermen.
