Answer:

The zebra mussel is a fresh and brackish water bivalve mollusk. It feeds on plankton and suspended organic matter. It is listed 100 most damaging invasive alien species in the world of the International Union for Conservation of Nature

Zebra mussels are an invasive, fingernail-sized mollusk that is native to fresh waters in Eurasia. Their name comes from the dark, zig-zagged stripes on each shell. Zebra mussels probably arrived in the Great Lakes in the 1980s via ballast water that was discharged by large ships from Europe
