Such a catch would have been unlikely, if not impossible, 10 years ago because the lake trout were victims of sea lamprey. The sea lamprey came up the St . Lawrence Seaway and entered Lake Michigan after the Welland Canal opened. The canal made it possible for them to by-pass Niagara Falls and penetrate the Great Lakes beyond Lake Ontario for the first time. Dr. Thomas S. McCamish, assistant professor of biology at Ball State, said many ocean fish fear the sea lamprey, a jawless, round mouthed eel which attaches itself to the fish with grasping teeth, bores a hole with its tongue, secretes an anti.coagulant and feeds upon the blood and body fluids of the fish. The BALL STATE Alumnus - 5 disappearance of the Cisco herring was probably caused primarily by a change in the food structure and says this might provide insight into the effect of the alewife which is now the dominate forage species in the lake. "Efforts to find commercial uses, such as ferti I izer or cat food, for the alewife have met with little success," Dr. Mc Comish explains, "because it is not as economical or efficient a method as restocking the lake with trout and introducing Coho and Chinook salmon." The State of Indiana is following Michigan's lead in the planting of Coho and Chinook salmon and Steelhead trout. Indiana's first run back of spawning salmon will take place this fall at Burns Ditch (Calumet Riverf and Trail Creek. The latter flows into the lake at Michigan City. Dr. Mc Comish said Illinois is starting a program, and Wisconsin has a large program underway. Because it is important to keep track of lake trout in order to assess restocking progress, conservationists releasing fish clip different fins so it can be determined where and when the fish were planted. Koch said the Indiana Department of Natural Resources is stocking 180,000 Chinooks and 100,000 Cohos which were obtained from Michigan because Indiana has no facilities to raise these During data collecting last year, Dr. Dave Johnson, William Miller and Steve fish from eggs.
