Diet, morphometric and demographic data for cisco (Coregonus artedi) collected in the winter and spring of 2022-2023 in Lake Michigan and connected waters Diet, morphometric and demographic data for cisco (Coregonus artedi) collected in the winter and spring of 2022-2023 in Lake Michigan and connected waters
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...
Lake Michigan juvenile lake trout diets 2015-2017, 2019-2022 Lake Michigan juvenile lake trout diets 2015-2017, 2019-2022
These data consist of juvenile lake trout biological and diet information collected from USGS bottom trawl, beam trawl, and gillnet surveys in Lake Michigan from 2015-2017 and 2019-2022. All prey were identified, enumerated and weighed. Only fish prey and Mysis had lengths measured.
Bottom-trawl and gill-net data from the Upper Great Lakes, collected by R/V Cisco, 1952?1962 Bottom-trawl and gill-net data from the Upper Great Lakes, collected by R/V Cisco, 1952?1962
The data release includes part of the bottom-trawl and gill-net survey data collected between 1952 and 1962 from the research vessel R/V Cisco. The bottom-trawl dataset includes tables for fishing operations and effort (BT_OP.csv), fish catch (BT_Catch.csv), and individual length-weight-sex-maturity (LWSM) records (BT_Fish.csv) for only a subset of species (details below). The gill-net...

Spatial distribution and diet of Lake Michigan juvenile lake trout Spatial distribution and diet of Lake Michigan juvenile lake trout
Most studies of Lake Michigan lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) have focused on adults, with scant attention to juveniles ( 170 mm (∼age-2+). Largest catches of wild lake trout 170 mm were collected along southern transects. Mysis diluviana was the dominant prey for juvenile lake trout 250 mm were primarily piscivorous, while 170–250 mm appeared to be a transitional period of switching...

Ratio of mercury concentration to PCB concentration varies with sex of white sucker (Catostomus commersonii) Ratio of mercury concentration to PCB concentration varies with sex of white sucker (Catostomus commersonii)
The whole-fish total mercury (Hg) concentrations were determined in 25 mature female and 26 mature male white suckers (Catostomus commersonii) caught during their spawning run in the Kewaunee River, a tributary to Lake Michigan. The age of each fish was estimated using thin-sectioned otoliths, and total length (TL) and weight were determined for each fish. When adjusted for the effect of...

Females exceed males in mercury concentrations of burbot Lota lota Females exceed males in mercury concentrations of burbot Lota lota
Examination of differences in contaminant concentrations between sexes of fish, across several fish species, may reveal clues for important behavioral and physiological differences between the sexes. We determined whole-fish total mercury (Hg) concentrations of 25 male and 25 female adult burbot Lota lota captured in Lake Erie during summer 2011, and of 14 male and 18 female adult burbot...

Status of pelagic prey fishes in Lake Michigan, 2013 Status of pelagic prey fishes in Lake Michigan, 2013
Acoustic surveys were conducted in late summer/early fall during the years 1992-1996 and 2001-2013 to estimate pelagic prey fish biomass in Lake Michigan. Midwater trawling during the surveys as well as target strength provided a measure of species and size composition of the fish community for use in scaling acoustic data and providing species-specific abundance estimates. The 2013...

Laboratory evaluation of a walleye (Sander vitreus) bioenergetics model Laboratory evaluation of a walleye (Sander vitreus) bioenergetics model
Walleye (Sander vitreus) is an important game fish throughout much of North America. We evaluated the performance of the Wisconsin bioenergetics model for walleye in the laboratory. Walleyes were fed rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) in four laboratory tanks during a 126-day experiment. Based on a statistical comparison of bioenergetics model predictions of monthly consumption with the...

Diet niches of major forage fish in Lake Michigan Diet niches of major forage fish in Lake Michigan
A large complex of coregonine species historically dominated the fish community of Lake Michigan. The current species complex is simplified with one remaining coregonine, bloater (Coregonus hoyi), deepwater sculpin (Myoxocephalus thompsoni), slimy sculpin (Cottus cognatus), and two dominant invaders, alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) and rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax). To better understand...

Toxicity to Daphnia pulex and QSAR predictions for polycyclic hydrocarbons representative of Great Lakes contaminants Toxicity to Daphnia pulex and QSAR predictions for polycyclic hydrocarbons representative of Great Lakes contaminants
The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the toxicity of several types of polycyclic hydrocarbons characteristic of Great Lakes samples to Daphnia pulex, a Great Lakes zooplankter, (2) to investigate the influence of different structural characteristics on toxicity, and (3) to determine the linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) parameters and model that describe these...
