INVESTIGATION OF GREAT LAKES LAKE WHITEFISH EGG FERTILITY AND HEALTH
<p>Lake whitefish (<em>Coregonus clupeaformis</em>) recruitment in the Great Lakes has declined, and it remains unclear whether early failure at fertilization and during embryo development varies among spawning stocks. I tested whether fertilization differs among locations and which biological …

Storage life of fresh whitefish fillets in grass fiber boxes and expanded polystyrene boxes
Packaging plays a crucial role in preserving the quality and extending the shelf life of fresh fish. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) packaging is widely used in storage and transportation of fresh fish. Numerous studies have declared that a significant percentage of polystyrene boxes are collected in …

The heat shock response in embryonic and young of the year juvenile round whitefish (prosopium cylindraceum)
… of acute, increased temperatures on round whitefish embryos at the protruding mouth stage and young-of-the-year (YOY) juveniles at 3.5 months post hatch by characterizing the kinetics of the heat shock response (HSR). The HSR provides protection from a variety of stressors (i.e., thermal …

Population Structure of Lake Whitefish (Coregonus Clupeaformis) on Multiple Spatial Scales: Transitioning to a Genomics Approach
… the population structure of lake and round whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis and Prosopium cylindraceum) in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant on Lake Huron. The analysis of over 200 individuals of each species revealed no fine scale population subdivision relevant to management. …

Use Of Multi-Gear Sampling To Improve Abundance Estimates Of Demersal Coregonids In The Laurentian Great Lakes
… Shortjaw Cisco (Coregonus zenithicus), Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) and Round Whitefish (Prosopium cylindraceum) play a vital role in both the Laurentian Great Lakes food webs and the commercial fishing industry. Hydroacoustic sampling has proven useful when performing stock …

Effects of Temperature and Thyroid Hormone on Oxidative and Lipid Metabolism in Juvenile Lake Whitefish (Coregonus Clupeaformis)
… markers in the cool-water teleost, lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis). Juveniles were exposed to 13 (control), 17 or 21 ºC for 4, 8 or 24 days. Widespread changes in the abundance of mRNA transcripts were observed in enzymes associated with oxidative metabolism (citrate synthase, …

The influence of embryo incubation temperature on later life aerobic performance of Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) and Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens)
… characteristics, the fall spawning Lake Whitefish and the spring spawning Yellow Perch. I hypothesized that whole-animal aerobic performance of both species would be reduced when embryos were incubated at temperatures 3 °C above optimal. I also hypothesized that Lake Whitefish would be …

Plasticity of the heat shock response and development of thermotolerance during embryonic development of Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis)
Thermal discharge produced by industrial facilities has the potential to impact development of fish by increasing background temperature of the surrounding area. The overall objectives of this study were to: 1) Examine the interplay between how temperature and frequency of heat shock and post-heat …

The Phylogeography of Prosopium in Western North America
The mountain whitefish (Prosopium williamsoni) has been largely overlooked in population genetic analyses despite its wide distribution in discrete drainage basins in western North America for over four million years. Its closest sister taxa the Bear Lake whitefish (P. abyssicola), Bonneville cisco …

Physiological and Cellular Responses Used By Lake Whitfish (Coregonus Clupeaformis) in Response to Thermal and Hypoxic Stress at Different Points in Development
… response (HSR) and hypoxia response, in lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) at several life-stages, to understand when these responses could be activated in response to stress. The HSR and HR are mediated by heat shock proteins (Hsps) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (Hif-1α), respectively. …

Investigating population structure and resource use diversity in Lake Huron Lake (Coregonus clupeaformis) and Round (Prosopium cylindraceum) Whitefish using compound specific stable isotopes analysis
… temperatures can have adverse effects on whitefish reproduction and development, potentially leading to population decline. Despite these risks, there is limited understanding of whitefish population structure in areas affected by once-through cooling in Lake Huron. Population structure …

Comparison of polychlorinated biphenyl profiles in rat, fish and human tissues; the effects of consuming Great Lakes fish
… and siscowet lake trout compared to walleye, whitefish, and Pacific salmon. The profiles of individual congeners differed between the species, with whitefish containing tri- and tetrachlorobiphenyl congeners in the highest concentrations and lake trout and siscowet lake trout containing hexa- …

Aspects of the conservation biology of Coregonus lavaretus in Britain
… variable taxa such as the European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) can be particularly challenging. In this thesis it is argued that the recent designation of seven native C. lavaretus populations as three endemic species (C. clupeoides, C. stigmaticus and C. pennantii) by Kottelat & …

Rocky Mountain ski resort residential real estate : mile high profits or downhill returns?
… from almost 3,000 residential transactions in Whitefish, Montana occurring between 1983 and 2000. Whitefish was chosen partially because this town exhibits many characteristics typical of Rocky Mountain ski resort towns as well as many of the non-ski characteristics that affect second home …
