Abstract

Abstract A method of controlling Corbicula in aqueous systems comprising treating said systems with a cationic polymer. A preferred polymer is a poly (quaternary ammonium) compound having the recurring structure: [DMDAAX(-)] where DMDAAX(-) is a polymer unit resulting from monomeric dimethyldiallylammonium X(-); and X(-) is an anion; said polymer preferably having a weight average molecular weight of from about 200,000 to 400,000.
