Zebra Mussels Discovered in Twin Lakes
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department has confirmed the presence of invasive zebra mussels in Twin Lakes, LaMoure County, after a local cabin owner reported adult mussels attached to a floating log over the weekend.
Aquatic nuisance species coordinator Ben Holen said subsequent follow-up sampling found a few other zebra mussels attached to woody debris. In addition, Game and Fish Department ANS staff processed plankton tow net samples collected from Twin Lakes June 22, and zebra mussel veligers were detected in those samples indicating a breeding population of mussels within the lake.
The 1,735-acre lake is a popular fishing destination located a few miles north of LaMoure. Twin Lakes is located approximately six miles from Lake LaMoure, which had a confirmed finding of zebra mussels in 2020.
