| Impact Description | After the establishment of zebra mussels in Lake Huron, increases were observed in light penetration, benthic algal biomass, chlorophyll concentrations, and rates of benthic primary productivity. At the same time a shift began from a dominant benthic algal community to one dominated by filamentous green algae. These changes could affect benthic food webs in littoral zones. |
