Texas lake eradicates Zebra mussels; here's how they did it 

Cut my feet up pretty good this last weekend hurts to walm

It’s so small no worries

@@119jle hippie hollow is small. I thought it be bigger.. lots of fun tho

😂

Bet he got cut up. The clip was about lake Waco.

thats pretty cool, how do you harvest them?

They’re sharp as a knife

Are you going to personally remove 100s of thousands of possible mussels? And if you take them out, their larvae are still probably swimming around and will start their life cycle again. So you’ll need to spend a lot of time and effort for something that isn’t guaranteed to work. With unlimited time and resources, sure. But thats not the reality for a lot of land management/community organizations. Zebra mussels aren’t the only invasive species, aren’t the only management species, and are a part of an ecosystem that is so dynamic it’s just tough to manage. Hence the deferment to prevention of their spread and not eradication.

Give them a break? Lol did you not hear how they literally eat up everything and destroy entire eco systems?

I was told no- we have the in our lake and they are super tiny, dont know why not though

No

They are edible but tiny and I hear there not tasty/ they are filter feeders so any toxins in the water is in the mussels/ they probably make excellent fertilizer

I think all clams are edible, including zebra mussel.

​@@rebelusa6585 probably but they're more like barnacles than real muscles
