Lori M Evrard
Lori Evrard is a Biological Science Technician based in Ashland, WI.
I am a Biological Technician working on Lake Superior fisheries. I assist with all aspects of our field station. I work in the field aboard the Research Vessel Kiyi and in the station laboratory. I manage our station's databases and paper field record collection, assist with administrative assistant duties, make GIS maps, manage our vehicle fleet, am co-safety liaison, and am lab manager. The first half of my career (1989-2004) focused on the assessment of the fish community of the St. Louis River Estuary (Duluth, MN and Superior, WI harbors) after the invasive species Ruffe (Gymnocephalus cernuus), was discovered there for the first time in the Great Lakes.

Juvenile Lake Superior Kiyi 2015
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.
