No impacts were observed on the benthic community one year after the discovery of quagga mussels in Lake Mead in 2007. However, that time frame was very early on in the mussel's establishment.

The greatest ecosystem impacts resulted in declines in large piscivorous rainbow trout and lake trout, followed by non-anadromous kokanee salmon, with little effect observed on anadromous sockeye salmon.

Dreissena bugensis now represents around one third of the dreissenid population in the Moselle River, and at least 60% of dreissenid biomass, 10 years after its first observation in the Moselle River of France.

Dreissena bugensis's high filtration rate decreases the abundance of phytoplankton, resulting in cascading effects on nutrient concentrations, water clarity, food competition with zooplankton, and increased macrophyte abundance.

Dreissena bugensis in shallow areas are predated heavily by waterbirds which contributes to an
increase in numbers of overwintering waterbirds and nutrient flows from
waterbirds’ feeding areas to resting areas.

Diporeia is an important prey item linking the benthos to higher trophic levels, and it has been suggested that the shift from Diporeia to Dreissena bugensis has transformed the benthic community into an energy sink which may no longer support the upper food web

Quagga mussels (Dreissena bugensis) likely decrease food availability for zooplankton through their rapid filtration of phytoplankton, thereby altering the food web.
