I was just browsing the texas fishing forum. It seems very likely that we have introduced a new and nutritious food source for our fish, the zebra mussel. A few years ago in one of the south eastern states a guy caught a giant red ear sunfish [nick name=shell cracker]. It was more like a large mouth bass in size. Now a few years later I read in the texas fishing forum, that gaspergou [fresh water drum] red ear sunfish, striped bass, blue cats and rumors of other species are helping themselve to a new protein source.
As Dr. Malcolm said in Jurassic Park, "Nature will find a way". Oh, and by the way, all the drums have crushing pharyngial teeth in their throats and the gaspergou in question had crushed all the zebra mussel shells quite nicely. It seems to me that nature will restablish some kind of balance in the future.
