.. At least we don't get zebra mussels. yeah...welcome to my world...They are mainly a hassle for freshwater intakes and so on. Remarkably, at least on the superficial level, they have "cleaned" up Lake Ontario's water remarkably in the sense that they've sucked up so much biomass out of the water that the clarity of the water off Toronto is now quite impressive. I believe this has led to the rediscovery of several near-shore wrecks, simply because you can see, on calm days, straight down fifteen feet or so to the sandy bottom. This was unheard of even 10 years ago around here. Of course, the local minnows and other small fish are suffering from the dearth of zooplankton. The accidental introduction of the the Caspian goby...a particularly voracious little *******...hasn't helped. So we are presented with a visibly cleaner lake bereft of important native species: whether this is in sum good or bad remains to be seen. Personally, I can now more easily locate the tools I drop over the side at dock...that's about it for me. R. |
