...Fisher. "The trick is to do it selectively" without wiping out other aquatic life. Fisher has recently found that minute traces of potassium, nontoxic to other organisms, reliably send zebra mussels into fatal shock. Paints laced with potassium, she speculates, might protect underwater structures from mussel infestation. Physiologist Jeffrey Ram of Wayne State University in Detroit makes an even more devious suggestion. Zebra-mussel spawning, he notes, is triggered by odors wafting from phytoplankton. These chemical cues ensure that the eggs hatch when the food supply is plentiful. But what if synthetic scents were dabbled like perfume above the mussel...
