Stop the Invasion of Zebra Muscles in St. Lawrence Seaway

Introduction The objective of the management plan is to immediately address the serious effort to achieve the major demobilization of the current Zebra mite invasion in St. Lawrence Seaway, especially Cornwall. Develop a conscious management, management, prevention and early detection program. . Successful execution manages the current environmental crisis in the St. Lawrence Seaway, establishes a reliable framework, maintains management and implements the necessary elements to prevent / detect future potential invasion / early detection By maintaining recovery conditions by doing so.

Zebra shells were found to adhere to all species of the St. Lawrence River and destroyed 5 out of the 8 species found in the river. The zebra mussel may be brought into the Great Lakes from the Pontocaspi region to the ballast water of the tanker of the St. Lawrence Sea. European ostriches: This bird was brought to North America in the late 1800s when 50 pairs of breeding pairs were released at Central Park in New York. European ostriches have become one of the most prevalent birds in North America and breed throughout the tundra area. It inhabits habitats all year round and successfully beat down many native birds as a nesting place. This led to farmers' problems due to the declining bird diversity of urban residents and excessive damage to crops. (Gaulthier and Aubry, 1996)

The river is thought to be the origin of the invasive species of the Zebra mussel and the ancestral home of the North American current St Lawrence Strait. Chernobyl contaminated cooling pond has zebra muscle. Mussels cover radioactive sediments of ponds that are not drained or dredged. Since the pump circulates water from the river to the pond, the water level of the pond does not change by evaporation. Zebra shells can grow in a very dense population weighing 3 kilograms per square foot. It is a mussel less than 1 inch per mussel. And like calcium, they absorb about 90 ° in the shell. Some shells are 50% bad. As these water is the original home of these zebras, there are carnivores that actually prey on them and accumulate their radiation. These fish can then introduce radiation into the food chain from the bottom feeder.

Zebrahl shellfish and spotted mussels are native to the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea Region of Eastern Europe. In the late 1980s, both mistakenly entered the Great Lakes of North America and the St. Lawrence River and arrived at the ballast water of the Atlantic freight cargo ship. These species quickly spread to the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River Basin, and within 10 years they spanned most of 2, 2, 5, 6, 9, 9 of the eastern United States. Zebra and spotted mussels are one of the most devastating, unconventional aquatic invertebrates of the past. They have an economic impact on water-dependent industries, boating and fishing. They block the intake pipe and cover the hull, dock, dock and almost all the underwater structures. They have a strong ability to regenerate and colonize native mussels as they have free-flowing larvae that do not require host fish to complete their life cycle.
