Biofouling and mussel growth from mussels deployed in Great Lakes embayments (2013-2016)
Many taxa of North American unionid mussels are imperiled due to biofouling by invasive dreissenid mussels.  Here, we report on biofouling rates of unionid mussels suspended in cages during the growing season in nearshore embayments in Lake Erie (2013-2016), Lake Michigan (Green Bay 2016, Grand Traverse Bay 2015) and …
