The U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center is offering this grant to fund research focused on the analysis of piscivore diets in Lake Huron. This initiative aims to provide critical insights into the forage fish utilized by top predators within the lake. Such contemporary information is vital due to the ongoing decline of most forage species over recent years. Understanding how these fish are adapting to and utilizing the limited prey base in Lake Huron is essential. The findings from this research will directly inform and guide effective sportfish management strategies both within the study areas and across the broader Great Lakes region.

| Description: | U.S. Geological Surveyâ¿¿s (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center is offering a funding opportunity for research on â¿¿Analysis of Piscivore Diets in Lake Huron. This research will provide insight about the forage fishes used by top predator in Lake Huron. These types of contemporary information are necessary given the continued decline of most forage species over the past few years, and the need to understand how these fish are using the limited prey base in Lake Huron. Information gleaned from these studies will be used to guide sportfish management in the study areas and across the Great Lakes. |
