Since its introduction in South America around 1990, the freshwater mussel Limnoperna fortunei has become a major fouling pest for most industrial plants that use raw river or lake water, chiefly for cooling purposes. We assessed the tolerance of the mussel to upper lethal temperatures as an economical and environmentally innocuous method of controlling its fouling in industrial installations. Survival of juvenile (7 ± 2 mm in length) and adult (21 ± 2 mm) individuals, acclimated to 12 and 28 °C, was evaluated under laboratory conditions. At 38-43 °C, all mussels die after 0.7 to 17.5 h, regardless of acclimation temperature and size class. At 34-36 °C, total mortality takes 25.0 to 644.3 h, regardless of the size of the animals, but mussel...
