💨 Abstract

The article discusses the spread and impact of the Quagga mussel, an invasive species from the Black Sea, in Swiss lakes. The mussels, which have no predators, multiply rapidly and consume large amounts of phytoplankton, affecting the food chain. They have clogged underwater pipelines and encrusted native crayfish, threatening their suffocation.
