Isn't a net expansion of weed growth one of the main factors that's preventing successful spawning of lake trout on many bodies of water? The weeds are growing progressively thicker and progressively deeper, chocking out the areas required by the trout to spawn. Maybe a few grassers swimming around (and not being able to reproduce) in some of the 'trout' lakes wouldn't be such a bad thing, as they'd eat the weeds thereby opening up spawning beds.

With our urban Toronto waters so choked with algae in the summer (due to poorer water quality), a few Grassies around to eat the floating algae clumps and the algae on vegetation is also a good thing.

An introduced species can only proliferate if the conditions are right. Toronto waters are perfect for Grassies...and our urbanization of the Toronto shorelines facilitated that.
