The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Research Inventory

The Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Research Inventory is an interactive, Internet-based, searchable database created as a tool to collect and disseminate up-to-date information about research projects in the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Region. The Research Inventory allows Great Lakes researchers to identify similar studies, network, share experiences and increase efficiency. It enables managers to examine the impact of research, the interrelationships between research disciplines, the adequacy of research related to government agreements and to link research to policy questions.

  • Development of 3kPZS Antagonists for Sea Lamprey Control

    In spawning streams, sexually mature males release 3kPZS (7α, 12α, 24-trihydroxy-5α-cholan-3-one-24-sulfate), the main component of the mating pheromone that attracts ovulatory females and is indispensable for sea lamprey reproduction. Blocking the female detection of 3kPZS will likely halt the reproductive cycle. Recently we have identified a repertoire of 60 olfactory receptor genes from the draft sea lamprey genome and characterized a receptor (SLOR1) that specifically detects 3kPZS.

  • A Comprehensive Regional Public Outreach Campaign on AIS

    Created by admin on January 18, 2012

    The Great Lakes Sea Grant Network (GLSGN), led by Minnesota, proposes a comprehensive outreach initiative targeting 15 pathways aimed at preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS). Featuring Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers!, IVab the Aquatic Invader, Habitattitude, AIS-HACCP program, and new Web-based social networking components, we will employ proven and new strategies to protect the Great Lakes.

  • Predicting the secondary spread of aquatic invasive species through ballast water and recreational boating in the Great Lakes basin

    Recent biological invasions (e.g., Hemimysis anomala, VHS) within the Great Lakes basin (GLB) emphasize the need for early detection and rapid response protocols to effectively manage the secondary spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS). Determining appropriate management actions following initial discovery of an AIS requires: 1) knowledge of the environmental niche that AIS occupy; 2) the locations of suitable environmental niches within the GLB; and, 3) the probability of AIS to spread to, and colonize within, such locations.
