Diet, morphometric and demographic data for cisco (Coregonus artedi) collected in the winter and spring of 2022-2023 in Lake Michigan and connected waters
June 17, 2025
These data describe demographic, diet contents and associated weights, fullness index, morphometrics (body shape), and meristic (total number of gill rakers) measurements of cisco (Coregonus artedi) collected in Lake Michigan along the eastern shoreline, the Pine River/ Lake Charlevoix Channel, and from three drowned river mouth lakes (Portage Lake, Muskegon Lake, Lake Charlevoix) from May 2021 - April 2023.

Characterizing fish movements is required for understanding habitat use, energy flow, and trophic structure and can inform fisheries management. Drowned river mouth (DRM) lakes are productive inland habitats in the Laurentian Great Lakes basin used by migratory fishes. Despite recognition of their ecological connections to the Great Lakes, the value of DRM lakes as seasonal habitats is...
