Page 2, News, Tuesday, May 29, 1990 United States fisheries research vessels will be operating in Canadian waters of Lake Superior during the month of June. In 1989, at the request of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service extend- ed their forage fish assessment trawling surveys-to include a number of sites in Canadian waters. This initial project was very successful so it is being repeated in 1990. Studies to pro- vide the essential management information on Lake Superior for- expensive. This cooperative study with the United States is providing a promising solution to the problem. -- for Lake Superior is enthused over the prospects of continuing this valuable project and states, "this successful partnership is an excellent example of how infor- mation on the status of prey species for take trout and salmon can be collected." In western Lake Superior, the _ Bill Theriault, Lake Manager research vessel Siscowet will be trawling 17 sites between Pigeon River and Rossport from June 14 to June 18, 1990. In eastern Lake Superior the research vessel Grayling will trawl 13 sites between Sault Ste. Marie and Michipicoten Island. Dates for the trawling may vary by a day or two depending on the weather. A US crew plus OMNR staff will be on board the boats during the sur- vey which consists of trawling the lake bottom at selected sites from 15 metres of water to a depth of 120 metres. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service has been running the trawling program since 1978. : Over the long term, information s used to determine abundance of ' fish and population trends. By including Canadian waters in the program, it allows both agencies to obtain a lakewide perspective on forage fish stocks which is essential in managing both the _ forage species and the predators that feed upon them, Information from these types of surveys will assist in the management of the sport and commercial fisheries on Lake Superior.
