The New Zealand mudsnail (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) is indigenous to New Zealand and its adjacent islands. In New Zealand, the snails have been found in nearly every aquatic habitat including large rivers, forested tributary streams, thermal springs, ponds, glacial lakes, and estuaries. Over the past 150 years, New Zealand mudsnails have spread in three continents. Three different clones of New Zealand mudsnails have been identified in the United States: one is found in Lakes Ontario, Erie and Superior and is the same as Clone A found in Europe; the second is found in nine western States, having spread out from an initial population in the Snake River in Idaho; and the third has recently been identified in the Snake River, Idaho. It is speculated that the eastern U.S. clone came in ballast water from Europe and the western U.S. clones came from the commercial movement of aquaculture products such as trout eggs or live fish from Australia or New Zealand. The introduced populations of these tiny snails (up to 6 mm) are mostly all female, and the snails are live bearers. Males are present only rarely in North America. Densities of New Zealand mudsnails fluctuate widely, reaching SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E:\FR\FM\19OCN1.SGM 19OCN1
