"Pretty much everything in our rivers and lakes is directly or indirectly vulnerable," said Dr David Aldridge, co-author from the University of Cambridge's Department of Zoology, who confirmed the quagga find only two weeks ago. "The invader we are most concerned about is the quagga mussel, which alarmingly was first discovered in the U.K. just two weeks ago.

An example is the zebra mussel (a relative of the quagga), which has been seen in Britain since 1824 and smothers native species so they cannot move. These mussels allow invasive shrimp to thrive because they can more easily camouflage into their striped shells. The shrimp, in turn, provide food for the invasive Ponto-Caspian gobie fish that have made their way down the Rhine. The presence of these non-native fish is problematic because they eat and displace native species.<br>

"Due to globalisation and increased travel and freight transport, the rate of colonisation of invasive species into Britain from The Netherlands keeps accelerating - posing a serious threat to the conservation of British aquatic ecosystems," said co-author Dr Belinda Gallardo, now based at the Do ana Biological Station in Spain.
