National Wildlife Fund: Invasive Mussels
Zebra mussels and quagga mussels are virtually identical both physically and behaviorally. Originally from Eastern Europe, these tiny trespassers were picked up in the ballast water of ocean-going ships and brought to the Great Lakes in the 1980s. By 1990 zebra mussels and quagga mussels had infested all of the Great Lakes.
