Salmonid Stocking Totals for Lake Michigan 1976-2010

The Great Lakes Fishery Commission’s fish stocking database is designed to summarize federal,

provincial, state, and tribal fish stocking events. This database contains agency provided records dating back to the 1950’s and is available online at: (http://www.glfc.org/fishstocking/). The purpose of this report is to briefly summarize the information in the GLFC database for Lake Michigan federal lake trout stocking and stocking rates of all salmonids within state waters of Lake Michigan (Table 1). A summary of lake trout stocking locations, described by priority area

in A Fisheries Management Implementation Strategy for the Rehabilitation of Lake Trout in Lake

Michigan (Dexter et al. 2011), is also included (Figure 1, Table 2). Total numbers of Service stocked lake trout are shown by statistical district for the time series 1976 – 2010 in Table 3 while salmonid stocking totals for each state are described in Tables 4-7 (Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan, respectively).

2010 stocking overview: 12.3 million salmonids (combined species) were stocked in Lake Michigan in 2010, (Table 1). This number reflects slight increases in chinook salmon and lake trout stocking numbers compared to 2009. Chinook stocking has been stable since the 25% stocking reduction for Chinook salmon was enacted in 2006. As of 2007, slightly greater numbers of lake trout have been stocked relative to Chinook salmon (Figure 2).

Figure 2. Numbers of lake trout and Chinook salmon stocked in Lake Michigan, 1976 – 2010. Lake trout numbers reflect yearling and fall fingerling stages combined.

Congress passed the National Information about specific light stations in the Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act (NHLPA) in 2000 to NHLPA program is available in the appendices and establish a lighthouse preservation program that at the following websites: recognizes the cultural, recreational, and educational National Park Service Lighthouse Heritage: value of these iconic properties, especially for local http://www.nps.gov/history/maritime/lt_index.htm coastal communities and nonprofit organizations as stewards of maritime history. National Park Service Inventory of Historic Light Stations: http://www.nps.gov/maritime/ltsum.htm Under the NHLPA, historic lighthouses and light stations (lights) are made available for transfer at no cost to Federal agencies, state and local governments, and non-profit organizations (i.e., stewardship transfers). The NHLPA Progress To Date: NHLPA program brings a significant and meaningful opportunity to local communities to preserve their Since the NHLPA program’s inception in 2000, 92 lights maritime heritage. The program also provides have been transferred to eligible entities. Sixty-five substantial cost savings to the United States Coast percent of the transferred lights (60 lights) have been Guard (USCG) since the historic structures, expensive to conveyed through stewardship transfers to interested repair and maintain, are no longer needed by the USCG government or not-for-profit organizations, while 35 to meet its mission as aids to navigation.

All stocking records used in this report were obtained from the Great Lakes Fishery Commission’s fish stocking database that serves as a repository for federal, provincial, state, and tribal fish stocking events throughout Great Lakes waters. This database contains agency provided records dating back to the 1950’s and is available online at: http://www.glfc.org/fishstocking/. The content in the database is managed by the USFWS Green Bay FWCO; contact Dale Hanson ([email protected]) for more information. Lakewide salmonid trends: Figure 1. Trends in stocking for the primary species of trout and salmon in Lake Michigan. Chart data (in millions) is Chinook: Stocking reductions for Chinook provided in the accompanying table below. salmon were initiated in 1999, 2006, and again in 2013 to reduce the predation pressure on the alewife prey base. In 2015, 1.79 million Chinook were stocked in the lake. Michigan reduced Chinook stocking in 2015 by roughly 2/3 of their 2006 – 2012 mean while other states cut stocking to a lesser degree (5 – 24%).

Scharf: Geographic Distribution of Siphonaptera Collected From Small Mamm 1991 THE GREAT LAKES ENTOMOLOGIST 39 GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF SIPHONAPTERA COLLECTED FROM SMALL MAMMALS ON LAKE MICHIGAN ISLANDS William C. Scharfl ABSTRACT The distribution of ten flea species collected from five small mammal host species on 13 Lake Michigan islands is described. Four new eastern and southern records for Hystrichopsylla dippiei Rothschild are given. Speculative suggestions are made regarding dispersal routes of some of the small mammal host species, and the distribution of flea species from Peromyscus maniculatus gracilis LeConte is dis­ cussed in the context of island biogeography theory. I collected fleas from small mammals on Lake Michigan Islands from 1%5 to present. Two other previous studies from Lake Michigan islands (Hatt et.
