    Impacts:
    Reduction in native biodiversity: The collapse of the walleye fishery in the Bay of Quinte on the north shore of Lake Ontario coincided with the increase in M. americana population and may have been a result of egg predation and the resulting lack of recruitment (Fuller et al. 2006).
