Projects

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Buffalo District (Buffalo District), through participation in the Western Lake Erie Basin Partnership and responsibility for the WRDA 516(e), 204 and 312 (a) programs, has been planning and working within the Maumee Basin ...

LimnoTech is developing and applying a watershed model to the Blanchard River Watershed, a sub-watershed in the Maumee River Basin, Ohio. The primary goals of the project are to simulate erosion, sediment delivery pathways, and sediment delivery loads in ...

Lake whitefish support the most economically important commercial fishery on Lake Michigan. Genetic analyses have indicated that the lake whitefish population in Lake Michigan is comprised of at least six genetically distinct stocks, resulting in a mixed- ...

LimnoTech is developing a linked hydrodynamic–sediment transport–advanced eutrophication model to inform restoration and management decisions in the Maumee River Watershed by creating a linkage between watershed activities and ecological endpoints of conc ...

To identify and understand the alterations in the Saginaw Bay ecological structure and function in response to stressors such as Dreissenid mussel invasion, nutrient loads, sediment loads, hydrology and water levels, and climate conditions, LimnoTech deve ...

Millions of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) have been stocked in the Great Lakes, yet self-sustaining populations are only present in Lake Superior and in remote areas of Georgian Bay. Successful reproduction of stocked lake trout has been hypothesized ...

This project will investigate the genetic basis of feeding type in silver (Ichthyomyzon unicuspis) and northern brook (I. fossor) lampreys, two of the four lamprey species that are native to the Great Lakes. Silver lamprey adults are parasitic on teleost ...

Several fish species rely on damage-released chemical alarm cues to assess local predation threats. These alarm chemicals are generally found within the skin and are released through mechanical damage effected by a predator. When detected by conspecifics ...
