The Asian mussel shares many features with the Zebra mussel which has caused major ecological damage in North America. Experiments there have shown that native infaunal species, such as bivalves, are adversely affected, with their abundance reduced significantly due to competition for space and food. 1, record 1, English, - Asian%20mussel

The zebra mussel, a European invader that reached the Great Lakes in ballast water from ships... has wiped out all twelve species of native mussels in Lake Erie. It reached the upper Illinois River via canals in 1989, but the flood substantially hastened its spread. It is virtually certain to cause similar havoc in its new home. 2, record 3, English, - havoc
