Research pertaining to Eurasian watermilfoil involves manipulation of the food web in impacted lakes by aggresively stocking walleyes to suppress insectivorous fish facilitating the growth of populations of herbivorous insects to suppress Eurasian watermilfoil.

Zebra mussel research is focused on reproductive timing and best chemical methods to thwart zebra mussel settling on water pipes.
