What impact are zebra mussels likely to have on food chains in the Great lakes?
Wiki User

Zebra mussels compete for plankton with other filter feeders, but that is not really why they are considered to be a problem. They tend to grow in great abundance where there is a water current that brings them their food faster, and such currents occur at the intake pipes that are put into the Great Lakes to get water, and the pipes then get clogged. So it is more of a problem with human engineering, than a problem affecting the food chain.
New Answer:
they will compete with netive shelfish and clams and hurt their populations
