## Abstract The effect of dopamine (DA) on serotonin (5‐HT)‐induced spawning in the zebra mussel __Dreissena polymorpha__ (Pallas) was tested. Administration of 1 mM DA with either 0.3 mM or 0.5 mM 5‐HT significantly delayed spawning and reduced its intensity in both males and females compared with

## Abstract Zebra mussels __(Dreissena polymorpha)__ can be stimulated to spawn with external application of serotonin. Inhibition of serotonin‐elicited spawning by methiothepin, a serotonin receptor ligand, was investigated. Methiothepin, which inhibits both male and female spawning when present c
## Abstract The serotonin (5‐HT) receptor subtype(s) mediating spawning in the zebra mussel, __Dreissena polymorpha__ (Pallas), was investigated by examining the efficacy of specific serotonergic ligands at stimulating or blocking spawning. The receptor profile for spawning stimulation resembled th
## Abstract Oocyte maturation and germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) was induced in zebra mussel (__Dreissena polymorpha__) oocytes by in vivo and in vitro application of serotonin (5‐hydroxytryptamine, 5‐HT), and in vitro application of 8‐hydroxydipropylaminotetralin hydrobromide (8‐OH‐DPAT, a 5‐HT
