MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES Feasibility Study to Limit the Spread ofZebra Mussels from Ossawinnamakee Lake pH Negative log ofthe hyeJrogen ion concentration.. Measure ofthe degree of acidity, a logarithmic scale ranging from 0 to 14. This scale is known as the pH scale. A measurement along the lower portion ofthe scale, 0 to 6 indicates the degree of acidity while a measurement along the upper portion, 8 to 14 indicates the degree of alkalinity. A 7 on the pH scale is considered to be neutral. Pheromone A substance secreted by an organism that influences the behavior of other individual ofthe same species. Phytoplankton The aggregate ofplants and plant-like organisms in the plankton. Planktivores Animals that feed on plankton. Plantigrade The settlement stage immediately following the pediveliger with the internal organs and shell undergoing metamorphosis into a young adult (juvenile). Plankton The aggregate of passively floating, drifting, or more-or-Iess motile organism in a body ofwater. Consists mainly of algae, protozoa, rotifera, micro-crustacea, and veligers. Population All the individuals ofa single species in a particular habitat. Post-veliger A term collectively grouping the veliconcha and pediveliger larval stages ofdreissenids. ppb Parts per billion. Unit for chemical concentration. Same as IJg/l. ppm Parts per million. Unit for chemical concentration. Same as mg/l. ppt . Part per thousand. Unit for salinity. Primary settlement The first major settlement event. Usually of about 2 to 3 weeks duration, but may be longer. Pseudofeces Recruitment Riverine The undigestible material that has passed over the gills of bivalve and is wrapped in mucous for rejection out the incurrent siphon. The appearance ofa new group ofyoung in a population. Refers to waterbodies that have higher flow velocities and exhibit more river-like characteristics. Appendix H-4 GLOSSARY OF TERMS I ' I
Secchi disc MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES Feasibility Study to Limit the Spread ofZebra Mussels from Ossawinnamakee Lake A 20-cm disc painted with alternating black and white quadrants. The disc is lowered into the water until it disappears from view. The depth at which it disappears is called the Secchi depth and is a relative measure of water clarity. It is usually measured in meters. Secondary settlement The resettlement of mussels that have been washed from the substrate or have otherwise detached themselves. Thermocline Threshold level Translocator Trochophore Trophic status Turbidity Valve Veliconcha Veliger Velum Zebra mussel Zooplankton The gradient of rapid temperature change, usually :SloC per meter, in a thermally stratified lake. The level or amount required to just induce a response or produce an effect. Adults mussels that have been detached or have detached themselves to become part ofthe drift. The larval stage immediately following the gastrula. Swims by cilia but the velum is not yet present. In native clams, this stage is passed within the developing embryo. The nutrient status ofwater (oligotrophic, mesotrophic, and eutrophic). The "cloudiness" of water. A measure of the quantity of material in the water. One of the two shelled structures on either side of the body of a bivalve mollusk. Specific larval stage following the D-form (shape) after the second prodissoconch is formed. Specifically, the larval stage with a velum before the first prodissoconch is formed. Often used as a general term for any larval stage of bivalves found in plankton. Ciliated structure on veliger larvae; used for swimming. Structure is resorbed and forms part ofthe siphons during metamorphosis to juvenile. Dreissenid mussel, Dreissena polymorpha. Named because of the zebra striped pattern on its shell. The assemblage ofanimals in the plankton. Include primarily protozoans, rotifers, and crustaceans, as well as the larval stages ofdreissenids.
