22 Part II : Risks assessment Hypothesis What are the impacts of Dreissena on the native fauna of the Meuse River? 22

23 Part II : Risks assessment Filtration rates Phytoplankton decline in the Meuse River Introduction of the quagga mussel? Falisse (2010) Master These 23

24 Part II : Risks assessment Filtration rates Measurements of filtration rates in laboratory facilities Zebra mussel : 41 ml/mgc.h (341 ml/ind.h) Quagga mussel : 49 ml/mgc.h (400 ml /ind.h) Vokaer (2012) Master Thesis 24

25 Part II : Risks assessment Infestation on native bivalves 593 native individuals collected (along a 500m transect) ± 40% were infested From 1 to 37 Dreissena on a single native individuals 25
