Abstract
ABSTRACT In Aril 1992 more than 1,000 adult zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) were found on the hull of a commercial barge in dry-dock in Hartford, IL. The shell lengths of randomly chosen individuals ranged from 11.6—21.1 mm. During the period of likely attachment to the time of dry-docking zebra mussels were transported a total distance of approximately 15,884 km through the upper Mississippi, lower Mississippi, and Illinois rivers. The potential for dispersal of mussels via commercial vessels is considerable.
