| Impact Description | By limiting the mobility of gastropods and native unionid mussels, invasive zebra mussels disrupt reproductive habits, predator evasion, and the ability to avoid unsuitable environmental conditions even to the point of extinctions. Biofouling of native mollusks may be an important mechanism of declines in native mollusk populations. |
