mussels

Fun fact, single colonies of zebra mussels may contain over 70,000 mussels per square meter!

Zebra mussels have had a noticeable effect on water clarity in Chicago harbors in the last ten years.

All it takes is one ship with a handful of zebra mussels to infest the entire Great Lakes ecosystem.

If fresh, properly prepared and cooked by a competent cook, lobsters, shrimps and mussels are one of the finest foods available.

Since zebra mussels became established in Lake Erie, water clarity has increased from 6 inches to 30 feet in some areas.

Another comment mentions Zebra mussels, which have made the lakes quite a bit clearer in recent years (but not necessarily to good effect).

Heck, squid works just fine on a thin pizza base too, as do mussels and prawn if you want a nice seafood mix.

Many smaller, connected lakes are clear too due to invasive zebra mussels.

And I learned that Gobys eat Zebra Mussels which makes me wonder if we stock them in California lakes or not.

We already have some pain-free meat in the form of invertebrates: shrimp, crab, mussels, etc.

When I visited Canada from the US, I bought a 907 gram package of mussels.

With both Asian carp and zebra mussels, (and lionfish and starlings etc etc etc) we are essentially powerless to stop their advance.

Filter feeding mussels, scallops, and oysters are about as low as you can get and still call it "meat".

Unless you're calling dumping your ballast tanks "nature", no, zebra mussels are not nature.

His "I will not spend any money for erradicating those zebra critter mussels in Spain in 2001 (when we could have done this) because the economy..." is currently a mortage of >40 millions of euro/each year for the next generation of europeans.

Unfortunately, those are some of the most invasive species that we have -- see Zebra Mussels, for instance.

I was told that it was due to the invasive species of Zebra Mussels[1] which have no natural predators in the Great Lakes.
