Using bioavailability modeling to refine copper treatments for zebra mussel control and better understanding risks to non-target species

Abstract Copper can be toxic to aquatic organisms at high concentrations and has been previously used successfully to control zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha). Because copper’s toxicity changes with water chemistry, using the same copper concentration in different waterbodies could yield differe...
