Researchers from the University of Minnesota, the U.S. Geological Survey and other agencies studied 21 Minnesota lakes and compared mercury concentrations in the tissue of two species, walleye and yellow perch.
 

The results were unexpected: They found adult walleye in lakes infested with zebra mussels had 72% higher mercury concentrations than in lakes without the invaders. In yellow perch — a common prey for walleye — the mercury concentrations were 157% higher.
