In this reading, it is assumed that the invasion of zebra mussels cannot be stopped, while the lecture argues that there are ways to control this invasion. People are unclear about the ways to stop the invasion because people at that time do not have enough knowledge to understand the process. However, it has been worked out in the following measures.
First of all, the reading claims that, according to the history, ships will help to spread zebra mussels and quickly colonize North America, while the lecture reputes the theory and considers that water ways will not rise the population of zebra mussels because salt water in the marine will kill zebra mussels.
In addition, the reason of no predators is opposed by the lecture and the the explanation is that local environment provides no food for zebra mussels and the birds there can eat mussels as well. So the cause of on predator can not convince people of the unstopped rising of population of zebra mussels.
Moreover, though the reading contend that the mussels will cause the a decline in the overall fish population, it is unconvinced when the lecture argues that even the mussels dominate the area, fish in the bottom will still have a positive impact and may even rise in their population and finally influence the population of mussels.
In conclusion, the invasion of mussels can be stopped in the lecture according to the above three reasons. The three threats such as ships spreading, no predators, declining the population of fish in the reading can be reputed by the lecture.
