Not that I would suggest tampering with an ecosystem, but Zebra Mussels
are not without some positive aspects. *Their filtering capabilities can
improve water quality and clarity. *There are reports of areas where the
smallmouth, perch, and even salmon fishing has improved after Zebra
Mussel infestations.
