Abstract in Portuguese (Brasil)
O presente trabalho apresenta uma breve análise dos métodos que podem ser usados para combater ou eliminar várias pestes aquáticas com ênfase sobre o mexilhão dourado, Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker 1856). Este molusco bivalve, originário do Sudeste da àsia, invadiu grande parte dos rios do norte da Argentina, Uruguai, Paraguai e sul do Brasil e está degradando o meio ambiente na região. Além disso, está causando sérios problemas no abastecimento de energia hidroelétrica.
