| Impact Description | Acentria ephemerella has had some success as a biological control agent of Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) in the Great Lakes region. In Lakes Buckhorn and Scugog, part of the Trent Canal system flowing into Lake Ontario, populations of introduced Eurasian watermilfoil were decimated in the 1980s, likely due to grazing by Acentria ephemerella. |
