Charles Madenjian, from the Great Lakes Science Center, talked about fish sustainability in the Great Lakes on Feb. 11, 2020, at the Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North's Zoom Lunch Meeting.
Charles explained, "the Lake Trout population in the Great Lakes was starting to get wiped out in 1956 due to over fishing and the sea lamprey invasion". Sea Lamprey feed on blood of Lake Trout; a sufficiently amount of blood consumption results in death of the Lake Trout.
The steps to restore the Lake Trout to the great lakes is:
- Sea Lamprey control
- Stocking Lake Trout.
Controlling the Sea Lamprey has been very effective. To see more information on his talk, take a look at the photos of his power point that follows.
