This grant, offered by the USGS Great Lakes Science Center (GLSC), is for a CESU-affiliated partner to conduct a collaborative study on lake trout reproductive health across the Great Lakes Basin. The primary purpose of this grant is to investigate thiamine deficiency syndrome (TDS) and its impacts. Lake trout are a critical focus for restoration and management plans in Lakes Michigan, Huron, Erie, Ontario, and Champlain. Evidence indicates that dietary thiaminase, a cause of TDS, substantially impedes egg and larval survival, thus hindering the establishment of self-sustaining lake trout populations. This funding aims to address these effects, supporting ongoing restoration initiatives by mitigating a significant obstacle to recovery.
