Zebra mussels found in lake

KANSAS CITY KAN. — State wildlife officials have found invasive zebra mussels in an eastern Kansas lake.

The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism says a recent survey found both larval and adult zebra mussels at the 407-acre Wyandotte County Lake. The agency says there are now 17 Kansas reservoirs and lakes infested with the aquatic nuisances.

Zebra mussels are bean-sized mollusks with striped shells that have been spread around the world via cargo ships.
