The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 awarded Lake Superior State University a $282,243.76 Project Grant under the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance federal grant program (CFDA 15.608) to conduct research on lake sturgeon movement patterns, habitat use, and population demographics in the St. Marys River from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026. The grant will fund research activities to acquire knowledge that can advance conservation and restoration efforts for...
This Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the CFDA 15.608 Fish and Aquatic Conservation - Aquatic Invasive Species program provides $413,667 to Grand Valley State University to conduct research on habitat suitability for lake sturgeon in the Manistee and Muskegon Rivers of Michigan. The key objectives are to: 1) map instream habitat and develop habitat suitability indices (HSI) to validate and update existing HSI models for lake sturgeon spawning and age-0 habitat,...
This $466,615.47 federal Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 under the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance program (CFDA 15.608) was awarded to Michigan State University for a 3-year period beginning January 1, 2024. The objectives of the grant are to: 1) develop rapid and accurate diagnostic assays to detect Lake Sturgeon Herpesviruses (LSHVs), 2) elucidate the pathogenesis and host tissue targets of LSHVs in Great Lakes Lake Sturgeon,...
The University of Toledo was awarded a $148,799 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) to study the survival, habitat use, and movement patterns of lake sturgeon in the Maumee River and the Great Lakes region. The project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of different stocking methods, including stream-side rearing versus traditional hatchery techniques, to guide future lake sturgeon reintroduction...
This $649,942 cooperative agreement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 will fund research at Michigan State University to assess potential impacts of splake introgression on brook trout and lake trout populations in Lake Superior. As part of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the research team will conduct genomic sequencing on wild-caught brook trout and lake trout to determine if splake introgression is occurring and identify locations where it may be impacting the native...
The Great Lakes Fishery Commission (GLFC) will receive $2.14 million under a four-year Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5, through the Geographic Programs - Great Lakes Restoration Initiative federal grant program (CFDA #66.469). The GLFC will implement four priority projects from 2022-2026 to control invasive species, support native fish restoration planning and implementation efforts, and aid the recovery of native fish populations such as lake trout and...
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 awarded a $250,107.59 Project Grant under the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance Program (CFDA 15.608) to the Grand Rapids Public Museum to conduct spawning abundance estimates for a remnant population of lake sturgeon in the Grand River, MI. The museum will use two methodological approaches - hydroacoustic imaging and genetic analysis of age-0 sturgeon - to establish baseline data on annual spawning abundance, effective...
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through the Geographic Programs - Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (CFDA 66.469), awarded a $4,845,782 project grant to the Great Lakes Fishery Commission. The grant will fund four priority projects that support invasive species control and the planning/implementation of native fish restoration programs in the Great Lakes region. Key activities include field testing supplemental sea lamprey control tactics, designing a new sea lamprey barrier,...
This $442,568 Project Grant award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance program (CFDA 15.608) will fund a study conducted by the University of Wisconsin System to better understand the movements and spatial distributions of lake whitefish stocks in the Great Lakes region. The research aims to determine: 1) the proportion of lake whitefish spawning in the Big Bay de Noc (BBDN) area that return to spawn there annually, 2) seasonal residency patterns of...
This $332,857 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Fish and Aquatic Conservation - Aquatic Invasive Species (CFDA 15.608) program will support a collaborative research project to evaluate characteristics of prey biochemistry and predator foraging that contribute to thiamine deficiency complex (TDC) in lake trout populations in the Great Lakes region. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) compare the nutritional quality of prey fishes in Lakes...
