MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES Feasibility Study to Limit the Spread of Zebra Mussels from Ossawinnamakee Lake created a Task Force with three primary goaJs aimed at stopping or slowing the spread ofANS. Reauthorized in 1996, the primary goals ofthe Task Force have remained: 1) To prevent introduction and dispersal ofaquatic nuisance species 2) To monitor, control and study such species 3) To educate and inform the general public and program stakeholders about the prevention and control ofthese species Regional panels of the ANS Task Force help coordinate ANS efforts and identifY priorities in their respective regions. The increase in concern and need for prevention and control ofANS is exhibited by the establishment ofstate ANS programs and efforts. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri and Illinois all have established and/or expanding ANS programs. The introduction ofANS (including zebra mussels) has the potential to alter ecosystems and food webs (Pflieger 1997) and cause extinction of some species (Taylor et al. 1984). Similarly, it is estimated that 44 species native to the Untied States are threatened or endangered by nonindigenous species (Wilcove and Bean 1994 in Pimentel et al. 2000). While some nonindigenous fish species have been associated with positive economic benefits, the majority of nonindigenous, exotic fish species are associated with an estimated $1 billion per year economic loss (Pimentel et al. 2000). Concern about the spread ofANS, including zebra mussels has been expressed by state (MN DNR Exotic Species Program 2002) and regional entities (MICRA River Crossings) for several years. The zebra mussel is among the 40+ nonindigenous species that pose a threat to waters in the United States. IV-17 Review ofZebra Mussel (Dreissella polymorpha) Species
