THE INVASIVE BIVALVES DREISSENA POLYMORPHA AND LIMNOPERNA FORTUNEI: PARALLELS, CONTRASTS, POTENTIAL SPREAD AND INVASION IMPACTS (2007, background): “Cataldo et al. (2005a) conducted 12 hmesocosm (400 L) experiments withLimnoperna in the Rı́o Tercero reservoir (Córdoba Province, Argentina), and they found similar impacts on water transparency and on the sedimentation of suspended matter, as has been found with zebra mussels.”
Dispersion and Ecological Impact of the Invasive Freshwater Bivalve Limnoperna fortunei in the Río de la Plata Watershed and Beyond (2006, background): “L. fortunei’s larvae take 10–20 days to reach the settling stage (Cataldo et al. 2005), which is comparable to the time it takes a cargo ship to steam across the ocean; thus, most of the seeding individuals are very early juveniles ready for attachment, rather than free-drifting larvae.”
Significant ecosystem-wide effects of the swiftly spreading invasive freshwater bivalve Limnoperna fortunei (2009, background): “As described for Dreissena, Limnoperna has been shown to possess very high reproductive, development, and growth rates (Boltovskoy & Cataldo, 1999; Cataldo & Boltovskoy, 2000; Cataldo et al., 2005), as well as high filtration and grazing rates (Sylvester et al., 2005).”
