Since the publication of the first edition, several types of mollusks have become troublesome in regard to agriculture, water quality, irrigation, and industrial piping in general. For example, the quagga mussel has crossed the continental divide of North America and is now causing significant problems. This new edition features international case histories presenting mussel fouling problems and how to cope with them. The book also addresses the impact and control of invasive snails and details monitoring techniques that have been developed in recent years. The authors also outline the latest threats and explore potential scenarios involving invasive biofouling of freshwater mollusks.
