| Abstract |
Conrad’s false mussel, Mytilopsis leucophaeataM. leucophaeata were discovered in an area affected by cooling water discharges from a nuclear power plant. The introduction of the species has obviously taken place via ballast water transport, resulting in a successful establishment in a favourable warm water environment. Based on the wide salinity tolerance, M. leucophaeata might also colonize areas inhabited by functionally similar bivalves if able to survive the cold winter conditions. |
