I always understood it to be damaging because it took oxygen out of the water. They had a big problem with the lakes around here several years ago and whatever authority is oversees parks and wildlife had to go through and clear a bunch of it out.

hydrilla is one of the best covers for fish. Its what my dad caught his 11 lber out of. Its what I have caught 3 of my top five from. Its the first thing that most people try to find on a new lake.
If it is too overbearing it could be bad. But that goes with anything. The reason they take it out of lakes is recreational boats.

The reason they take it out of lakes is recreational boats. Live hydrilla is great for the water. What's bad is the rec. boats come through and tear it up and then the dead stuff depletes the oxygen. |

I never claimed to know what I'm talking about. You guys have a million times more experience with it. All I know is that it's a weed that grows by exponential proportions and created a huge problem several years ago in lakes across Texas. I thought it depleted oxygen because I've heard it referred to as a noxious week. Upon further research, a noxious weed is any vegetation that is not indegenous to a locale that displaces native vegetation and is injurous to a population. Also, research by the Universities of Florida and Michigan suggest that Hydrilla is good for fish (especially largemouth bass) up to a certain point. After 30% coverage, Hydrilla begins to have adverce effects on aquatic wildlife and waterfowl. |

funny how you looked all of that up after you made your comments.
We all already knew it was good for bass.

Was there a Hydrilla problem? Yes. Can it be bad for aquatic life? Yes. I wasn't far off.

I don't know. I'm not an aquatic chemist.
