Yes there is a potential that channel catfish will feast on the critters. Other catfish species do.
One note about the mussel-eating fish. None of them have the potential to eliminate or even drastically reduce the impact of mussels on the lake as a whole.
What they can do is provide an alternate thread in the food web for game fish.
We all need to be vigilant to prevent the spread -- particularly with Deer Creek on the naughty list (which means Utah Lake will also soon be on the naughty list).
