what does zebra mussel larvae look like?

I boated in the Ohio this week. When I got home I noticed little round gold/tan looking things with little bumps on them attached to the bare pontoon metal below the water line. Look kinda like the size of a skipjack herring scale. And looks like it has a whole bunch of little tiny dots on each one.

Is this zebra mussel eggs? What is this stuff????

If not zebra mussels, can you eat it????

Definately cooties!

Cooties... Joe B, you are out of control... LOL

The Ohio river huh? Never know what came out of there...:) Take a few pics and let us see. I'm curious to what it could be. Does Cumberland have Zebra Mussels?

I posted a picture of the boat cooties on the photo board today, what is this stuff, size of skipjack shad scales.

And it does taste like chicken, but there's not enough of it to make a decent sandwich.

Okay, lets sum this up so far.
1. We think they might be corn flakes, cooties, or chicken.
2. We found out who PAM is and where her hill is that has all the beer bottles on it.
3. They have been paralleled to endanger spiecies, or nusance spiecies, and we have seen pictures of them.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH......I'M GONNA GO TELL ON YOU GUYS. I wrote to one of the KY State Biologists who works for the KDWFR. And I told them you all were making fun of what might be a catastrophic outbreak of some alien life form that decided to attach itself to my pontoons rather than invade earth in a big loud noisey space ship.

So there.....see.....this is not funny.....I'M SCARED.....NOW WHAT IS THIS CRAP!

PS: I sent the pictures to the Biologist along with a check for $50.00 said there would be more of where that came from if they came up with something really cool to call the "CORN FLAKES FROM HEL____. "

Now, where that PAM hill you all were talking about, I live in Hardin County, its dry here, and I'm out of beer.
