The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center is offering this grant for a new research project. This grant is for the primary purpose of estimating the survival of lake whitefish eggs in Thunder Bay, Lake Huron, to determine if invasive dreissenid mussels have a negative impact. The research seeks to test the hypothesis that invasive mussels reduce lake whitefish egg survival, potentially explaining the over 50% reduction in lake whitefish yield in Lakes Huron and Michigan over the past two decades. This project will integrate into a larger multi-agency effort evaluating invasive mussel control effectiveness on egg survival.

| Description: | The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center has a new research project seeking to estimate the survival of lake whitefish eggs in Thunder Bay, Lake Huron that ultimately seeks to determine whether invasive dreissenid mussels have a negative impact. This research is to test a hypothesis that invasive mussels reduce lake whitefish egg survival and thus is a key factor underlying a more than 50% reduction in lake whitefish yield in Lakes Huron and Michigan over the past two decades. This research project would be part of a multi-agency effort that evaluates the effectiveness of small-scale invasive mussel control on lake whitefish egg survival. |
