Abstract

The zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas, 1771) was first documented in North America in the 1980s. In 2007, it was found in Otsego Lake, New York, the headwaters of Susquehanna River which drains to the Chesapeake Bay. In 2008 they were found in five out of the 53 sampling sites in Otsego Lake. This study provides baseline data to be used for long term zebra mussels monitoring on this lake.
