“…Similarly, the analysed perch primarily consumed the 'invertebrates' prey resource at the population level, with this also consistent with other studies suggesting the importance of similar prey resources in their diet (Giles et al, 1990;Dörner et al, 2003). While there were no studies suggesting perch regularly prey upon zebra mussel, Mavrin & Strel'nikova (2011) suggested that when the species are in sympatry, with zebra mussels feeding extensively on zooplankton, juvenile perch might have to switch to macro-invertebrate prey from their early stages. This was also noted by Shcherbina & Bezmaternykh (2019), who also suggested that zebra mussel colonies also provide refuge for macro-invertebrates, increasing the difficulty of prey detection for perch during foraging.…”

Dietary contributions of the alien zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha in British freshwater fish suggest low biological resistance to their invasion

Native communities can resist the establishment and invasion of alien species through consumptive and/or competitive interactions. The extent of consumptive resistance from freshwater fish to the invasion of zebra mussels Dreissena polymorpha, a globally invasive Ponto-Caspian species, was assessed in two areas in Britain using stable isotope analysis, where mixing models predicted the contribution of putative prey resources (including zebra mussel) to fish diet. Across the sites and species, only roach Rutilus rutilus were predicted to have a diet where zebra mussels contributed highly (predicted contribution: 44%), with literature suggesting that their functional morphology would have facilitated their consumption of this prey item. Predicted contributions of zebra mussels to common bream Abramis brama diet was comparatively low (29%), despite them being present to much larger sizes than roach, and with pike Esox lucius, perch Perca fluviatilis and pikeperch Sander lucioperca also predicted to have low dietary contributions of zebra mussels (0.08%, 24% and 24%, respectively). These results suggest the consumptive resistance to its invasion in Britain has been low and, correspondingly, if there is a management desire to further limit the invasion of zebra mussels then relying on biological resistance to limit their invasion appears to be insufficient.

“…Zooplankton declines were associated with decreased age-0 yellow perch growth in lakes containing Bythotrephes (Staples et al 2017). Zebra mussels caused reduced larval perch growth in mesocosms (Mavrin and Strel'nikova 2011), whereas in natural systems (e.g. Lake Oneida, New York) there are conflicting reports of either increased (Mayer et al 2000) or unchanged (Idrisi et al 2001 growth following zebra mussel establishment.…”

“…Walleye biomass dropped by approximately half post-zebra mussel invasion in Lake Oneida (Irwin et al 2008), while no effect of zebra mussels on age-0 growth of any species including yellow perch and walleye was observed in Lake Erie (Trometer and Busch 1999). Length-specific differences in growth and condition of yellow perch and walleye in zebra mussel infested lakes have also been documented, with larger individuals growing faster, suggesting impacts of zebra mussels on fishes may vary with fish life stage (Mavrin and Strel'nikova 2011;Nienhuis et al 2014).…”

Invasive species represent a threat to aquatic ecosystems globally; however, impacts can be heterogenous across systems. Documented impacts of invasive zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) and spiny water fleas (Bythotrephes cederströmii; hereafter Bythotrephes) on native fishes are variable and context dependent across locations and time periods. Here, we use a hierarchical Bayesian analysis of a 35-year dataset on two fish species from 9 lakes to demonstrate that early life growth of ecologically Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (
