斑马贻贝对氯的反应死亡率由动力学模型描述，该模型将贻贝死亡率的统计特征与消毒类型建模方法相结合。通过在尼亚加拉河水中进行的九组实验数据进行了参数估计。根据动力学模型，构建了一个操作图，描述了达到95%死亡率的时间与氯浓度和温度的函数关系。无论是模型还是图表都可以用来帮助公共事业部门规划氯化处理以控制斑马贻贝。包括19个参考文献、表格和图表。

The rate of mortality of the zebra mussel in response to chlorine is described by a kinetic model that combines a statistical characterization of mussel mortality with a disinfection-type modeling approach. Parameters estimates were made with nine sets of data from experiments conducted in Niagara River water. From the kinetic model, an operational diagram was constructed that describes the time to 95 percent mortality as a function of chlorine concentration and temperature. Either the model or the diagram can be used to assist utilities in planning chlorination treatments for controlling zebra mussels. Includes 19 references, tables, figures.
