You might try contacting the Great Lakes Research Facility at the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee (414) 649-3000. Also, I recently participated in a masters thesis defense in the engineering department. The subject was water and sanitation engineering. It seems that these folks consider zebra mussels the next hot topic in research-- primarily how to remove them from pipes. I remember one of the items discussed was the use of removable sheeting-- pull the sheeting off every so often and the mussels go with it. Becca
