Abstract
Explains what rapa whelks are, where they came from, and why they are of concern in the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem. The booklet describes ways to identify rapa whelks in relation to local whelks, compares rapa whelk egg masses with those laid by local whelks, and examines life history traits of the rapa whelk that make it a successful invader.
