[QUOTE="Allen, post: 391494, member: 389"] I know more than a few that would disagree. I found a publication that looked at both the spiny water flea and zebra mussels, for whatever reason they seem to go hand in hand. The study was done on a number of Minnesota lakes and in general found walleye growth rates were below normal for their first year, but perch seemed to better tolerate the fleas and mussels. As they put it in the article, decreased size is important when your risk of being eaten is at least partially based on your size. They also mention Lake Oneida in New York lost 50% of the total walleye biomass after being infested with zebra mussels. That's a pretty big hit! Here's the link to the article: [URL]https://www.usgs.gov/publications/walleye-growth-declines-following-zebra-mussel-and-bythotrephes-invasion[/URL] [/QUOTE]
