Who all here is signed up for the MNR "fish and wildlife news" email?
one part I read said this, and may interest some on here curious about the food webs, though this one is about Huron. I sent an email asking for the report.

| A recent study is helping us understand the connection between fish species, habitats, and food webs. Over the course of 70 years, the ministry and partners collected and examined fish scales from South Bay on Lake Huron. Researchers can analyze fish scales to see where fish have been eating and where they fit into food webs. This project is one of the longest ongoing studies of food webs in the Great Lakes. The findings highlight changes to the Lake Huron food web that we have never seen before. Since the invasion of zebra and quagga mussels and round goby, fish have relied more on nearshore resources. Lake whitefish has changed feeding habits more than any other species. |
