There are threadfin through out the whole chain. In additon to the Threadfin, Stripers also seem to use carp. Stocked trout are also a favorite.
The impact of the mussels will be directly at the base of the food web( it's web now instead of a food chain), impacting the phytoplankton that the zooplankton use. It was reported that a single mussel will filter 1 liter of water per day. Not that much you say, times say a billion individuals, so the impact is horrendous
Now you all can see why we need to minimize the spread of thse critters and work with the agencies to do so.
Do some research and come up with some ideas that we can take to the next mtg., don't be afraid that it sounds lame or weird, it just might be the solution !!
