There is no doubt the mussels cleaned up the water in the Great Lakes, especially Lake Erie. But they do consume much plankton used as food by small fish, which in turn would be eaten by bigger fish.
Next headline will be “ Mussel clams muscles into Butt Lake”. I don’t even want to think of what the subtitle would be, but I will try.
“Butt Muscles: Taste Like Chicken”
or “Butt Muscles: Smarter than you think”.
I was wondering what they ate.
