Fish Biologist Kevin Pankow, from the Green Bay Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office (FWCO), assisted the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR), NOAA Northwest Fisheries Science Center, Ashland Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office, National Park Service and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee the week of June 2, 2014 with a lake trout research project near Isle Royale National Park on Lake Superior. The cooperative, 2-year research project, coauthored by Chuck Bronte from Green Bay FWCO, was funded by a competitive grant from the Great Lakes Fishery Commission. The objectives of the project are to characterize the seasonal reproductive development, assess the genetic relatedness of individuals within a given morphotype collected seasonally to determine if they are derived from the same morphotype populations, and compare fecundity and skeletal muscle lipid levels among lean, siscowet, humper and redfin lake trout at Isle Royale.
