Lake Huron Fisheries
| TO summarize,
the current combined yield of fish from Lake Huron is approximately 7.28
million kg. The harvest in both fisheries is quite diverse from location to
location. The nature of the fisheries
is quite different from what it was
20 years ago with more salmonid fisheries in existence and percid
fisheries reduced. Key issues facing
both commercial and recreational fisheries currently include stocking rates
for offshore predators and predator-prey relationships, rehabilitation of
lake trout, nearshore rehabilitation efforts including spawning habitat,
stocking, harvest controls, and the lack of solid estimates from throughout
the whole lake, notably limited data from G. Bay and the North Channel. |
