However, zooplankton biomass can indeed exhibit substantial variability in Lake Superior on finer spatial and temporal scales, but this is not well documented in the literature. We used long-term monitoring data generated by the Environmental Protection Agency’s Great Lakes Biology Monitoring Program from 1997 to 2018 to investigate offshore zooplankton community structure during summer stratification. Both cluster analysis and non-metric multidimensional scaling ordination were used to examine zooplankton spatial patterns in relation to environmental variables. In addition, we used modeled surface current projections for the weeks prior to sampling events to assess the potential importance of horizontal transport in shaping the offshore zooplankton community. We found that although calanoid copepods consistently dominated the community, the relative contribution of cladocerans to total zooplankton biomass was variable. Cluster analysis often singled out three stations, two north of Isle Royale and one offshore of the Pic River, that typically had both higher chlorophyll-a concentrations and higher cladoceran biomass than most others. Analysis of surface current projections suggested horizontal transport of zooplankton could occur from stations with high cladoceran biomass, possibly driving more widespread shifts in the offshore community than expected. Continued assessment of connections between physical and biological variables is important to anticipate food web responses to future stressors, such as climate-driven changes to temperature and circulation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54818,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Great Lakes Research","volume":"51 1","pages":"Article 102496"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143129451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Few studies have predicted how migratory fish populations will respond to enhanced fish passage, despite being a critical step in the decision-making process. We developed an individual-based model framework to forecast the response of migratory fishes to changes in connectivity and applied the framework to six species under multiple fish passage scenarios for the FishPass project on the Boardman River, MI, which outlets into Lake Michigan. Population response to barrier removal was species-specific and varied based on initial population size and distribution within the watershed, number of fish passed upstream, and species life history traits. Species restricted to below the barrier prior to removal benefitted most; non-native species were found to have greater production potential under full passage scenarios than native Great Lakes species. With increasing passage of non-native Pacific salmonids, steelhead <em>Oncorhynchus mykiss</em> surpassed brook trout <em>Salvelinus fontinalis</em> as the system’s dominant species.

Likewise, developments in population modeling led to evaluations and refinement of management strategies that helped create stability for lake trout, lake whitefish (<em>Coregonus clupeaformis</em>), and cisco (<em>Coregonus artedi</em>) fisheries.

Generally, there was a high reliance on pelagic resources across all fish species with greater benthic resource use observed at medium and deep strata.

To monitor trends in spawning cisco abundance, fishery managers recently began estimating adult biomass and exploitation using fall hydroacoustic surveys, which were combined with gill net surveys to inform apportionments of acoustic data. The gill net survey design consisted of paired top-suspended and bottom-set gill nets, but only the sex ratios from top nets are currently used with the hydroacoustic surveys due to an assumption that cisco in Lake Superior are pelagic spawners. However, the vertical sex distribution of cisco during spawning aggregations has been described as dynamic, with males becoming more bottom-oriented throughout the spawning season. We used multilevel aggregated binomial regressions to: 1) determine if there is bias between top and bottom gill net catches of cisco for either sex and if it changes throughout the spawning season, 2) evaluate how the vertical distribution of males and females may create bias in sex ratios used to estimate exploitation, and 3) explore the effect that maturity (i.e., gonadal development) has on vertical distribution during spawning aggregations. We identified sex-specific bias in vertical catch location that has the potential to bias estimates of sex ratio, and the source of this bias may be attributable to maturity driven changes in behavior. These findings highlight a need for caution when relying on gill nets to apportion cisco sex ratios during spawning aggregations and provide support for a non-pelagic alternative hypothesis of spawning behavior.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54818,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Great Lakes Research","volume":"51 1","pages":"Article 102424"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142187431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
