Abstract
The present paper is a brief review of possible methods that can be used to control or eliminate aquatic pests from the environment, with particular emphasis on the golden mussel, Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker 1856). This bivalve mollusk, a native of Southeast Asia, has infested most of the rivers in Northern Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Southern Brazil and is causing serious environmental difficulties and biofouling. In addition, it causes serious problems to water treatment stations and hydroelectric power plants.
