Research
Description: Conduct field studies with aquatic organisms.
These studies involve fish feeding, reproduction, habitat
and survival studies. Among the species studied are sturgeon,
lake herring and lampreys. Reproductive success of both beneficial
as well as deleterious species is dependent upon proper habitat
condition and food availability.
