What lakes have been ruined by zebra mussels. Some attribute clean up of Lake Erie to zebra mussels. Besides being nasty and clogging water systems any other negative impact you can point to.

imajigger2,

I can't answer for Minnesota lakes. All of my lakes that have zebra mussels have been negatively impacted. The addition of a nonnative invasive species is not good for any water body as native species and desirable sportfish species are negatively impacted.

See post below for a partial listing of negative impacts.
