• Establishment Patterns of Non-native Fishes: Lessons from the Duluth-Superior Harbor and Lower St. Louis River, an Invasion-prone Great Lakes Freshwater Estuary

  The St. Louis River freshwater estuary which drains into western Lake Superior and includes the Duluth-Superior (MN-WI) harbor, has a long history of non-native fish introductions. From 1985 to 2002, seven new fishes were identified in the estuary, an unprecedented rate of non-native establishment

  We question the specifics of the parasite-host interactions between sea lamprey and lake whitefish. The probability that an individual fish will survive an attack from a sea lamprey is a key component to sea lamprey damage assessments. Comprehensively studied for lake trout, survivability for whitefish is unclear with a single mark-recapture study from the 1960s providing data. Laboratory research has not been conducted to support or refute the results of the tagging study, which was completed when ecological conditions in the Great Lakes differed from those of today.
