Review of Genetics of Lake Trout in the Great Lakes: History, Molecular Genetics, Physiology, Strain Comparisons, and Restoration Management
Published on January 1, 1995
This paper reviews historical differences among native lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) populations, genetic comparisons of populations, heritability of physiological traits, performance ofstrains after stocking, and the role of genetics in management. -
Recognition of Spawning Areas by Lake Trout: Deposition and Survival of Eggs on Small, Man-Made Rock Piles
Published on January 1, 1995
The purpose of this study was to identify characteristics of spawning substrate (e.g., depth, substrate size, reef contour) that are important for spawning site selection by lake trout. -
Dynamics of Reproduction by Hatchery-Origin Lake Trout (Salvelinus namaycush) at Stony Island Reef, Lake Ontario
Published on January 1, 1995
Quantitative studies of survival between egg deposition and fry emergence were conducted on a spawning reef in the eastern basin of Lake Ontario to determine variables associated with poor reproduction of hatchery-origin lake trout. -

Discounting initial population sizes for predicting extinction probabilities in patchy environments
Published on December 11, 1992
