Study reveals zebra mussels' effects on Lake Minnetonka

About 200,000 zebra mussels per square meter cover the bottom of Lake Minnetonka’s Wayzata Bay — thriving on the water’s moderate algae levels and affecting its quality, a study of the lake has found.

The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District released the findings of a five-year study on Thursday that looked at the conditions in which the invasive pests thrive, knowledge that could help slow their spread.
