Invasive Golden Mussel found in Bay-Delta near Stockton October 29, 2024 Greetings IEP Community, On October 31, 2024, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) released a request for assistance in spreading awareness about the detection of Golden mussel (Limnoperna fortunei) in the California Delta. Golden mussels are native to rivers and creeks of China and Southeast Asia. They are similar in appearance, biology, and impacts to quagga and zebra mussel, and pose a significant threat to water conveyance systems, infrastructure, and water quality. CDFW is working to disseminate additional detection and response information as it becomes available. For now, CDFW is requesting the press release be referenced for additional detail and shared with all water managers throughout California to inform them of this discovery. More information on Golden Mussels in California is available on the CDFW California Invasive Species web page. Questions can be directed to invasives@wildlife.ca.gov.
