“…)-easily pass through most screens and filters, and settle in multiple layers on the walls of pipes, heat exchangers and monitoring lines of power plants and water treatment facilities. This leads to reduced flows in large pipes and complete blockage of smaller pipes with concomitant, negative consequences for many utilitarian services (Aldridge et al 2004). Empty shells of non-indigenous bivalves (including infaunal ones) also accumulate in man-made conduits causing similar impacts on water flow.…”

“…Also the potential economical consequences that zebra mussel introductions may have are causes for concern. A recent study of the abundance and distribution of the zebra mussel in the UK has shown that the population has expanded during the last decade (Aldridge et al 2004).…”

“…They can cause degradation of natural habitats, alter species assemblages and trophic structure, displace or decimate native species (ALDRIDGE et al, 2004;GRATTON and DENNO, 2005) depending on the number of simultaneous negative interactions such as competition and predation (MILLS et al, 2004). Among other invasive groups, such as plants, mussels and fish, crayfish have particularly important ecological impacts on aquatic ecosystems.…”
