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.

  • INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF A RESISTANCE BOARD WEIR IN DUFFINS CREEK, LAKE ONTARIO TO SUPPORT ATLANTIC SALMON RESTORATION

    Created by Tom Stewart on February 15, 2012

    RATIONALE: Atlantic salmon were endemic to Lake Ontario before the extirpation in the late 19th century. Since 2006, over 2 million fish have been stocked as part of an enhanced restoration effort. All stocked fish were genetically tagged so that recaptured fish can be assigned to specific stocking events (year, life-stage, and strain) or conversely identified as wild recruits. Despite considerable effort and techniques, failure to recapture sufficient returning adults is limiting observations from experimental stockings.

  • 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.
