Diet and bathymetric distribution of juvenile Lake Trout Salvelinus namaycush in Lake Huron
Rehabilitation efforts for Lake Trout Salvelinus namaycush in Lake Huron have resulted in increased capture of young wild Lake Trout in annual bottom trawl surveys conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey. To better understand the ecology of juvenile (<400mm) Lake Trout, we summarized the spatial distribution of their capture in bottom trawls at...
Roseman, Edward F.; Riley, Stephen; Tucker, Taaja; Farha, Steve A.; Jackson, Scott; Bowser, Dustin Continued feeding on Diporeia by deepwater sculpin in Lake Huron
Monitoring changes in diets of fish is essential to understanding how food web dynamics respond to changes in native prey abundances. In the Great Lakes, Diporeia, a benthic macroinvertebrate and primary food of native benthivores, declined following the introduction of invasive Dreissena mussels and these changes were...
Thompson, Patricia A.; Roseman, Edward F.; Keeler, Kevin M.; O'Brien, Timothy P.; Bowser, Dustin Evidence of the St. Clair-Detroit River system as a dispersal corridor and nursery habitat for transient larval burbot
Burbot Lota lota are distributed across the Laurentian Great Lakes where they occupy a top piscivore role. The St. Clair-Detroit River System is known to provide a migration corridor as well as spawning and nursery habitat for many indigenous fishes of economic and ecological significance. However, knowledge is scant of the early life...
