crafted report(3-page maximum) written explicitly for the local community leaders that respond to their recommend ation to introduce the round goby Also suggest ways to help reduce the growth of the mussel within and among waterways Information about the collection of the zebra mussel data The developmental state of the Zebra mussel is categorized by three stages: veligers(larvae), ettling juveniles, and adults. Veligers(microscopic zebra mussel larvae)are free-swimmin attach to and begin their adult life. Looking for zebra mussel veligers is difficult because they ale o suspended in the water for one to three weeks, after which they begin searching for a hard surface not easily visible by the naked eye. Settled juvenile zebra mussels can be felt on smooth surfaces like boats and motors. An advanced zebra mussel infestation can cover a surface, even forming thick mats sometimes reaching very high densities. The density of juveniles was determined along the lake using three 15X15 cm settling plates. The top plate remained in the water for the entire sampling season(S-seasonal)to estimate seasonal accumulation. The middle and bottom plate are collected after specific periods(A-alternating )of time denoted by "Lake Daysle" in the data files. The settling plates are placed under the microscope and all juveniles on the undersides of the plate are counted and densities are reported as juveniles/m2crafted report (3- page maximum) written explicitly for the local community leaders that responds to their recommendation to introduce the round goby.
