Abstract
Method of controlling fresh water mussels of the Dreissenidae family (zebra and quagga mussels) by direct contact with peracetic acid or indirectly by application to an environment where control is desired. The biofouling of environments, such as fresh water intakes, conduits and storage systems of power and water treatment systems, and of processing streams of industrial plants, is thereby reduced or eliminated.
