The key objectives are to: 1) determine if walleye spawning in northern Green Bay disperse significantly from their tagging locations, 2) assess if walleye spawning in...
- The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $198,551.37 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin System under the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance program (CFDA 15.608) with an award date of January 1, 2024 and a completion date of December 31, 2025. The project aims to determine if successful natural reproduction of muskellunge is occurring in open-water locations in Green Bay, Wisconsin, including the Sturgeon Bay area. Key objectives are to 1) assess...
- This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service (under CFDA Program 15.608 - Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance) provides $329,464.74 to the University of Wisconsin System to study brook trout habitats and movements in Minnesota's Lake Superior tributary streams. The research aims to: 1) determine seasonal habitat use and movements of brook trout, brown trout, and steelhead trout; 2) assess habitat overlap and competition between native brook...
- The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 awarded a $261,273.81 Project Grant to Miami University under the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance program (CFDA 15.608) for the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025. The grant will support research examining the potential role of ultraviolet radiation exposure as a factor contributing to declining lake whitefish recruitment in Lakes Huron and Michigan. Specifically, the awardee will study the effects of UV exposure...
- The University of Wisconsin System, through its Office of Sponsored Programs Division at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM), was awarded a $239,461.00 Project Grant by the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 under the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance program (CFDA 15.608). The objective of this 3-year grant is to determine the lake trout ecotypes present on Klondike Reef in Lake Superior and assess if they are in spawning condition. This research...
- This Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Fish and Aquatic Conservation - Aquatic Invasive Species program (CFDA 15.608) will support habitat mapping and lake sturgeon habitat selection research in the Manistee and Muskegon Rivers of Michigan. The $413,667 grant will fund efforts to: 1) map instream habitat characteristics and develop habitat suitability indices to assess the reliability of existing lake sturgeon habitat models for Great Lakes tributaries, 2)...
- This $220,740.24 Project Grant from the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 will fund research to determine genetic stock structure and diversity among Lake Superior walleye spawning aggregates. The research team from eight state, provincial, federal, and tribal agencies representing Lake Superior waters will apply high-resolution genomic tools to quantify genetic differentiation among known spawning sites and identify mixed stock contributions throughout the lake...
- 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 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Formula Grant award of $2,630,324, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, supports the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Fisheries Division in maintaining and improving fisheries resources. The project will collect, summarize, and analyze data from surveys and assessments to inform fisheries management strategies, develop new stock assessment tools, and improve existing catch-at-age models. Key activities include monitoring...
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 BBDN spawners in different areas of Lake Michigan, 3) the proportion of BBDN spawners detected near Wisconsin coastal cities, and 4) the spawning locations of whitefish tagged in BBDN. This information will help inform local and regional management of lake whitefish fisheries, which have seen recruitment declines in some areas. The study will involve implanting 200 adult whitefish with acoustic transmitters and monitoring their movements using an expanded acoustic receiver array in Green Bay and Lake Michigan over a 3-year period from 2024-2028.
