Lake trout historically supported the most valuable freshwater commercial fisheries in North America, but their populations crashed in parts of the Great Lakes during the 1950s and 1960s due to overfishing and invasive species.

A juvenile kiyi caught during a 2015 survey in Lake Superior. These fish were used in a genetics study how vision adapts to differing light conditions. These fish are inhabit deeper waters than many other coregonine species in Lake Superior and have adapted to the lower light levels.
