Starvation effects on dry tissue and shell biomass were investigated in the zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, at 5, 15, and 25?C. Subsamples of 30 individuals were examined daily for mortality. A second group was periodically randomly subsampled for dry tissue and shell weights. Extensive starvation tolerance in D. POLYMORPHA is associated with ability to greatly reduce metabolic demand. As this capacity is maximized at low temperatures, mussels may survive winter months with minimal energy store reduction. Extensive tolerance makes starvation impractical for mitigation of D. POLYMORPHA fouling.
