Density, Growth, and Reproduction of Zebra Mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) in Two Oklahoma Reservoirs

McMahon and Ussery 1995), they may still exhibit a negative scope for growth when sustained water temperatures exceed 28°C (Aldridge et al. 1995). As such, there is signicant potential for zebra mussels in Oklahoma reservoirs to experience stressful thermal conditions for part of the year. This would be particularly true for systems in southern Oklahoma and into Texas.
