>A portion of the Colorado River has been designated as "infested" by Colorado Parks and Wildlife after adult zebra mussels were found in the river earlier this month. This is the first time adult zebra mussels have been found in the river.
Veligers, the microscopic larvae of zebra mussels, were first detected in the Colorado River last year.
“While this is news we never wanted to hear, we knew this was a possibility since we began finding veligers in the river,” said CPW Director Jeff Davis.
CPW's invasive species manager was notified by the Aquatic Animal Health Lab on Aug. 28 that suspect veligers had been gathered from West and East Lake in James M. Robb-Colorado River State Park. On Sept. 2, during a follow-up survey, parks staff found adult zebra mussels in the lake.
