This increases the available Cladophora habitat. Zebra mussels may also promote Cladophora growth by depositing nutrient-rich waste onto the lake bottom. Warm water temperatures: Cladophora thrives at water temperatures between 50 F to 70 F. Therefore, warmer summers could lead to increased Cladophora growth.

Cladophora grows as thin, almost-microscopic, hair-like threads up to 10 centimeters long. These hair-like threads form slippery mats attached to rocks and other solid objects at or just below the water line. ... Cladophora has become more abundant during the past century in many areas where an excess of nutrients,
