FCO from
1992 State of Lake Huron
“Recognize and protect the array of other
indigenous fish species because they
contribute to the richness of the fish
community. These fish--cyprinids, rare
ciscoes, suckers (Catostomus spp.), burbot
(Lota lota),
gars (Lepisosteidus spp.), and
sculpins (Cottidae)--are important for three
reasons.
They have ecological significance;
intrinsic value; and social, cultural, and
economic worth.”
