Yellow perch and smallmouth bass absolutely love zebra mussels. Their populations have exploded, at the expense of the mussel population. It was also discovered that the mussels will not anchor to anything treated with a copper-nickel alloy. The power and water treatment industries have adjusted accordingly and damage from the mussels implanting in pipes and water intakes has largely stopped. Also, as they are filter feeders they have discovered that the zebra mussels in lake Erie have contributed signifigantly to ridding it of pollution. In the lake since the mussels arrived water clarity has gone from 6 inches to 3 feet.

Thanks for information - I stopped following the Zebra mussel infestation when MSM started the sky is falling scenarios.
I will probably get sick of the Asian carp as well when the sky is falling scenarios start up
