| Impact Description | Consumption of zebra mussels may also provide a conduit for the bioaccumulation of toxic substances, especially PCBS, which have been
shown to accumulate in zebra mussels because of their extensive filtering activities (Secor et al., 1993; de Kock et al., 1993). Top predators which feed on round gobies
would therefore be expected to accumulate increased quantities of PCBS over previous accumulation patterns. |
