Wisconsin has over 15,000 lakes and surveying each lake is not feasible due to lack of resources (personnel, money and time). Classifying lakes based on ecological and limnological similarities may provide a way to account for differences among lakes without having to survey all lakes. My objective was to classify stunted and non-stunted bluegill populations using features of Wisconsin lakes. Before I addressed my main objective, two subordinate objectives were addressed to establish data needs and define a stunted bluegill population for Wisconsin lakes. First, I determined if size selectivity of bluegills differed between electrofishing and Fyke netting in Wisconsin lakes.

    176 FERC ¶ 62,042 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION North Eastern Wisconsin Hydro, LLC Project No. 8015-012 ORDER GRANTING TEMPORARY AMENDMENT OF EXEMPTION (Issued July 21, 2021) On May 28, 2021, Eagle Creek Renewable Energy, on behalf of North Eastern Wisconsin Hydro, LLC (NEW Hydro), exemptee for the Shawano Paper Mills Dam Hydroelectric Project No. 8015, filed an application for a two-year temporary amendment of the normal impoundment elevation. The project is located on the Wolf River in Shawano County, Wisconsin. Background The Commission issued an order granting an exemption from licensing to the project on March 27, 1985.1 Under Standard Article 2 of the exemption, the exemptee is required to comply with the terms and conditions that Federal or state fish and wildlife agencies have determined appropriate to prevent loss of, or damage to, fish and wildlife resources. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (Wisconsin DNR) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) provided terms and conditions that, in part, require the exemptee to maintain the impoundment elevation between 801.83 feet mean sea level (msl) and 803.17 feet msl, with a normal impoundment elevation of 802.5 feet msl. As part of a 2015 compliance investigation,2 Commission staff determined that contrary to the normal impoundment elevation requirement in the exemption, the exemptee operated the impoundment year-round at a normal pool elevation of 802.9 feet 3 msl from at least 2000-2015. Since 2015, through the series of temporary amendments 1 Little Rapids Corporation, 30 FERC ¶ 62,344 (1985).

  • 1 Tournament-Associated Mortality and the Effects of Culling In
    Tournament-Associated Mortality and the Effects of Culling in Wisconsin Black Bass (Micropterus spp.) Tournaments by Craig W. Williamson Wisconsin Cooperative Fishery Research Unit A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE College of Natural Resources University of Wisconsin Stevens Point, Wisconsin August 2007 1 Approved by the graduate committee of: Dr. Michael A. Bozek, Committee Chairman Professor of Fisheries Dr. Brian L. Sloss Professor of Genetics Dr. Martin J. Jennings Fisheries Biologist, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Dr. Stanley W. Szczytko Professor of Limnology 2 Abstract The Wisconsin Cooperative Fishery Research Unit was contracted by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) to evaluate mortality associated with culling in bass tournaments. The objectives of this study were to 1) quantify mortality rates of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) (LMB) and smallmouth bass (M. dolomieu) (SMB) occurring as a result of professional black bass tournaments and 2) mortality associated with culling during those tournaments. Among six professional bass tournaments studied, total mortality rates of largemouth bass ranged from 0% to 43.9%, and smallmouth bass from 0% to 55.5% when adjusted for reference fish mortalities. During two simulated tournaments, mortality rates of culled LMB were 0% and 16.0%. Culling in simulated tournaments did not appear to increase mortality rates relative to what was seen at the professional bass tournaments. Our results support other studies that indicate tournament-associated mortality dramatically increases when water temperatures exceed 25°C (especially when largemouth bass virus is present) where largemouth bass are the primary target species and 20°C where smallmouth bass are the primary target species, and that strict regulation of bass tournaments under such conditions may be warranted.
