This grant, offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center, is for a research project focusing on the growth and diet of alewife in the nearshore environments of Lake Michigan. The primary purpose is to enhance understanding of how variations in diet and growth, influenced by environmental conditions, impact the survival of alewife at the larval stage. This research aims to ultimately explain recruitment patterns within the alewife population. By conducting sampling across diverse regions with varying trophic productivity within a single year, the project will investigate lake-wide trends in larval production, growth, and diet, generating hypotheses about the mechanisms behind significant recruitment fluctuations. The objective is to improve ecological models and inform management strategies for Lake Michigan’s ecosystem.

| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center (GLSC) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU Partner for a research project to describe the growth and diet of alewife in the nearshore environments across Lake Michigan. This work aims to improve understanding of how differences in diet and growth, driven by abiotic and biotic conditions, may impact alewife survival at the larval stage, ultimately influencing recruitment to the population. By sampling across regions with contrasting lower trophic productivity in a single sample year, can examine lake wide patterns in larval production, growth, and diet while generating hypotheses regarding mechanisms that may result in boom or bust recruitment events. |
