Spatial and temporal variation in age distribution and growth of Lake Michigan burbot, Lota lota lacustris, and potential effects of climate change
Microsoft PowerPoint presentation slides Lake ecosystems contain interacting, ever-changing habitats and organisms controlled by biological, physical, and chemical processes. Exotic species introductions have dramatically changed the Great Lakes fish communities in the last 150 years. Sea lamprey fo...

Exotic species introductions have dramatically changed the Great Lakes fish communities in the last 150 years. Sea lamprey followed by alewife invasions have altered the ecosystem of Lake Michigan.
