This would be a great time to do this seeing as there  would less people boating and fish will be going to the bottom of the lake to stay away from the cold. ]]> 2021-03-18 22:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/bellayearego/t42mzauwqzqte57h/wish/1327833777 bellayearego https://padlet.com/bellayearego/t42mzauwqzqte57h/wish/1327834862 2021-03-18 22:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bellayearego/t42mzauwqzqte57h/wish/1327834862 https://padlet.com/bellayearego/t42mzauwqzqte57h/wish/1327837112 2021-03-18 22:47:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bellayearego/t42mzauwqzqte57h/wish/1327837112 bellayearego https://padlet.com/bellayearego/t42mzauwqzqte57h/wish/1327839832 A 2% chlorine bleach solution is effective at killing zebra mussels when cleaning boating equipment or other gear away from waterbodies.

The chemical solution would be more cost effective compared to purchasing water washing equipment, and will be less of a risk to damage the eco system by integrating a new species into the lake.

Their name comes from the dark, zig-zagged stripes on each shell.
Zebra mussels negatively impact ecosystems in many ways. They filter out algae that native species need for food and they attach to--and incapacitate--native mussels. Power plants must also spend millions of dollars removing zebra mussels from clogged water intakes.]]> 2021-03-18 22:53:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bellayearego/t42mzauwqzqte57h/wish/1327846331 https://padlet.com/bellayearego/t42mzauwqzqte57h/wish/1327846588 Sightings of Zebra Mussels as of 2010]]> 2021-03-18 22:53:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bellayearego/t42mzauwqzqte57h/wish/1327846588 katiesosebee24 https://padlet.com/bellayearego/t42mzauwqzqte57h/wish/1327849252 Graph about mortality rate within the zebra mussel population when is introduced to sodium hypochlorite at the end-of-season treatment]]> 2021-03-18 22:54:54 UTC https://padlet.com/bellayearego/t42mzauwqzqte57h/wish/1327849252 bellayearego https://padlet.com/bellayearego/t42mzauwqzqte57h/wish/1327853124 2021-03-18 22:57:26 UTC https://padlet.com/bellayearego/t42mzauwqzqte57h/wish/1327853124 bellayearego https://padlet.com/bellayearego/t42mzauwqzqte57h/wish/1327854744 While the chlorine is being put into the water and all boating equipment and is being washed with the chlorine, the boats and equipment must stay out of the water for at least two weeks because zebra mussel larvae can live outside of the water for 2 weeks in the right condition.]]> 2021-03-18 22:58:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bellayearego/t42mzauwqzqte57h/wish/1327854744
