@tyla306 I don't know if anyone has ever tried to eat them. They are very small. They also tend to accumulate any pollution that is in the water because they eat by filtering the water. Lake mead has some pretty nasty stuff in the water, so it might not be healthy to eat them.

It is irresponsible to spread unsubstantiated and claims supporting questionable hypotheses, such as the claim that waterfowl introduced quagga mussels to the Colorado River system.

It is unlikely that waterfowl were the vector by which quagga mussels were introduced to the Colorado River. Accidental dispersal by recreational boats is a more plausible explanation that is supported by research. The use of biocide is a method of last resort, and would require millions of dollars and countless man hours to have any hope of being effective. Protecting uninfested waters through education and intervention is a much better way to maintain the integrity of aquatic ecosystems.

Quaga mussles arrived in The Colorado River System on the plumage of waterfowl. It was then followed up by a small amount of movement from water craft. The sooner the mussles are found in all U.S. waters the sooner the use of biocide will be started to combat these pests. The only way to erradicate these is with biocide. Watercraft inspections is a waste of time and tax dollars.
