The zebra mussels did do the service of cleaning up the Great Lakes like nothing we could have done.
I think what happened was that they cleaned it up so well that there was nothing left for them to live on. At least, that’s what I recall. It’s been a long time since then. 40+ years since I lived in the Buffalo area.
That too!

My understanding is following the rise of the zebra mussel arose natural predators which formerly had a lesser roles in the lakes; freshwater drum, whitefish and ducks.
