Summary

Multibeam and sidescan sonar were collected for a total of 15 sites in the North Arm, Maxwell Bay, and St. Albans Bay of Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota, to determine whether hydroacoustics could be used in turbid rivers and lakes as a method of rapid detection for invasive zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) infestations. Hydroacoustic data were collected in June, August, and the end of September, 2022 at all 15 sites. This dataset is composed of bathymetry in the form of digital elevation models and 3D point cloud (in the form of XYZ text file), sidescan sonar image mosaics, and underwater video still images for assessing the detection of Dreissenids using hydroacoustics and underwater video for habitat.

Purpose

Hydroacoustics using multibeam and sidescan sonar can rapidly provide a high-resolution image of underwater features in turbid rivers and lakes. The primary objective of this project was to determine whether hydroacoustics could be used as a method of rapid detection for invasive zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) mussel infestations and define preferred freshwater habitat variables for existing undetected infestations to search for future colonization. Rapid visualization of underwater infestations or habitats could help delineate areas of control treatment, limit non-target impacts, and stop the spread of the invasive zebra mussels. Rapid response to these invasive mussels is critical in preventing the spread to protect our inland lake/riverine ecosystem and aquatic resources.
