Characterizing spatial and temporal trends in fish community diversity in the inland lakes of Isle Royale, MI, USA
The inland lakes of Isle Royale, MI have remained relatively isolated from human impact, providing an opportunity to explore how fish diversity has natural shifted with minimal confounding effects. I analyzed fish assemblages of 23 lakes sampled in the 1920s, 1990s, and 2020s to 1) assess temporal …

Effects of Environmental Factors and Sport Fisheries Management Practices on Largemouth Bass (Micropterus Salmoides) Fluctuations in Abundance in Illinois Inland Lakes
Linear regression was used to analyze predictors' effects on the response variables. Each anthropogenic predictor was analyzed for main effects and first-order interactions with the environmental predictors. Multiple-lake (for broad-based treatment effects) and lake-specific analyses of the …

Assessment of the Effects of Habitat, Harvest and Community Interactions on the Abundance of Walleye Sander Vitreus in Inland Lakes Throughout Ontario
… community and considered only a small subset of lakes. My study examined how the presence/absence of multiple species within the fish community affects the abundance of walleye across a broad spectrum of habitat conditions and fisheries. A Schaefer model was modified by distinguishing carrying …

Comparing Frontline Managers' Perceptions of Local Capacity for Integrating IWM: A Case Study in Cyanobacteria
… blooms that are increasingly present in Ontarios inland lakes, represent wicked problems. Wicked problems are complex and require sufficient local capacity and collaboration to successfully manage. There is a dearth of literature investigating local capacities to implement IWM successfully. This …

Seasonal and lunar patterns of peach blossom jellyfish (Craspedacusta sowerbii) in Michigan
… and medusa abundance were surveyed at six inland lakes in Michigan. Occurrence records of C. sowerbii in Michigan were then used to compare co-occurrence patterns with nine aquatic invasives as a window into potential dispersal mechanisms and to create a regional ecological niche model. …

Acoustic Telemetry Provides New Insights into the Ecology of Smallmouth Bass in Eastern Lake Ontario
… a top predator native to the Laurentian Great Lakes, with a wide distribution in North America. Our understanding of Smallmouth Bass ecology is extensive, although primarily based on research from smaller inland lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. In Lake Ontario, there is an urgent need for …

Biological Impacts and Uses of Black Bass Competitive Fishing Tournaments on Large Lake Systems
… common on large waterbodies including the Great Lakes. Black Bass, Micropterus spp., are top predators and among the most sought after species in competitive catch-and-release tournaments. This study investigated catch-and-release tournaments as an assessment tool through mark-recapture for …

Mercury concentration and aquatic food web alterations associated with zebra mussel invasion in Minnesota lakes
… an invasive species documented in 299Minnesota lakes, with 231 of those lakes managed as walleye fisheries. Many ecological changes are associated with zebra mussel invasion, including increased water clarity, depleted pelagic energy resources, expanded littoral zones, deposition of benthic …

Evaluation of Walleye Fingerling Plants in Lake Darling, North Dakota
… Arkansas and Nebraska. Common through the Great Lakes and many of the inland lakes and rivers of the basin; in Lake Erie chiefly to the westward.” Lake Darling is well within this range of distribution. Early collections by Hankinson (1929), however do not list the taking of walleyes in the …

Quantitative Mapping of Cyanobacterial Blooms Using Oceansat-1 OCM Satellite Data
… Atmospheric correction of satellite data over inland lakes, estuaries and coastal waters is also challenging due to difficulties in the estimation of aerosol scattering accurately over these optically complex water bodies. Thus an atmospheric correction procedure was developed to obtain more …
