The zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha combines the properties of a competent and useful freshwater indicator species because of its wide geographic distribution in static and running waters, its high fecundity and its continuous availability throughout the year. In consequence, a considerable interest in basic ecological research, indicator studies and ecotoxology was focused on this mussel in recent years. In Part I of this volume, ecological aspects of zebra mussel populations are presented. Detailed knowledge on growth, seasonal reproduction and natural mortality are prerequisites for biological monitoring studies. In Part II, both the sensitivity and effectiveness of biological monitoring systems of Dreissena are described, such as systems in active effect biomonitoring for heavy metals or organochlorines, or in early-warning-systems for the continuous biological control of running waters. The book demonstrates how basic and applied ecological research can manage together leading to prospecting applications in the control of river ecosystems.
