| Impact Description | Significant increases in the trophic position of zooplankton (reduced herbivorous cladoceran biomass and increased omnivorous/predatory copepod biomass) and planktivorous fish such as the lake herring (Coregonus artedi) with the introduction of Bythotrephes longimanus (spiny waterflea) have the potential to lead to substantial contaminant biomagnification in consumers. |
