Working with the MN Department of Natural Resources' (DNR) Lake Superior Area and French River Fish Hatchery, researchers will use mating records, captures at fish weirs, and genetic data to compare the reproductive success of hatchery-stocked steelhead trout to that of Lake Superior's naturalized steelhead. Simultaneously, they will examine the survival rate of juvenile steelhead produced by naturalized parents, hatchery parents and mixed crosses in isolated reaches of North Shore rivers. Building on a previous Sea Grant study, the researchers hope to guide the MN DNR's rehabilitation program for Lake Superior steelhead and examine the genetic and ecological effects of supplemental stocking on naturalized populations.
