    Abstract: A method for controlling mollusk populations is provided. Invasive mollusk populations may colonize lakes, rivers, streams, or other water sources such as commercial or industrial facilities. Mollusk populations may be eliminated or controlled by administering an organic acid solution to a raw water source colonized by mollusks. Organic acids such as lactic acid, citric acid, gluconic acid, or glycolic acid may be utilized. Invasive mollusks may also attach to static surfaces such as marine equipment, boat hulls, or live wells. Attached mollusk or mollusk veligers may be eliminated or controlled by spraying attachment surfaces with an organic acid solution.
