•Establish a diverse salmonine community that can sustain
an annual harvest of 2.4 million kg with lake trout the dominant species and
anadromous(stream-spawning) species also having a prominent role.
•There is international consensus that
lake trout should play a prominent role along with other strains of trout and
salmon as top predators.
•While the re-establishment of lakewide,
self-sustaining populations of lake trout are still an open question,
agencies will continue to stock trout and salmon to provide a fishery. You
will hear about remnant populations of lake trout today that are
self-sustaining in Canadian waters.
