THE NEW HABITAT OF THE ZEBRA MUSSEL (Maiara, Bea and Mireia)

THE NEW HABITAT OF THE ZEBRA MUSSEL

The news dated March 9th has revealed that the zebra mussel has colonized a new habitat. 

This time the invasive specie has been found in the Ibaizabal River, one of the most important rivers in our province. 

This fact means that this specie is approaching our town and that it does not only affect the part of Bilbao and its surroundings, for example Basauri, now it is expanding to all Biscay. 

It is not still a big deal because experts have only discovered two of these mussels, but it is possible to find more of them in the next months.

The government have took some measures to stop this problem. Which includes the prohibition of all kind of fishing near these areas and that just few boats will be allowed to pass though the affected rivers.

  1. Your news is very
    old; it was 13 years ago. What had happened during these years?
