Over the past several years there have been many invasive species which pose a major problem. An Asian clam is one of them. Asian clams can clog up pipes causing boat systems and boats to overheat, power plant cooling systems to fail, and cause millions of dollars in damage each year. Asian clams consume small algae at the bottom of the food chain and can cause a major lack of food for the animals at the top of the food chain. This can impact the fish population for years to come. There are many chemicals which can help reduce the numbers of these clams and help save us many problems for years to come.
