Growth of Cisco and Bloater Under Hatchery Conditions 2012-2019
August 12, 2026
Cisco and Bloater growth data from hatchery reared fish were collected in association with a project to repopulate Lake Ontario native prey species. Fish were grown and measured under hatchery conditions for up to nine months before being released into Lake Ontario. Weekly measurements of total length, total weight, and morphometrics were recorded for both species to determine growth during their first year of growth for eight separate year-classes, 2012-2019.

The re-introduction of native species that have been extirpated or in low abundance in the Great Lakes has been a binational initiative between the United States and Canadian governments. Recently, new management programs have been underway that use current hatchery facilities for the restoration of native forage fishes in Lake Ontario. These species include Bloater (Coregonus hoyi)...
