Introduction
I am a Migratory Fish Specialist for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources at the Lake Superior Fisheries Office in Duluth, Minnesota. I manage fish - and people's expectations about fish - in the Minnesota Waters of Lake Superior. I am involved with many projects that help manage or conserve Lake Superior fish - native lake trout, coaster brook trout, lake sturgeon, walleye, steelhead, salmon and trout....

Characterizing food web interactions between introduced and native fish predators is important to quantify niche overlap, assess predator–prey balance, and support fisheries management. Lake Superior provides an ideal setting to investigate potential trophic overlap between native top predators, lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) and walleye (Sander...
Knowledge of population-level relationships and how these relationships pertain to different life history forms is critical to developing effective management plans for native trout, char, and salmon. In the Lake Superior basin, identifying effective restoration strategies for coaster brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), a lake-inhabiting form of b...
Fisheries managers and anglers in Minnesota have long been concerned that reproduction in the wild by a hatchery strain of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), called kamloops, could reduce the fitness of naturalized steelhead (migratory rainbow trout) populations in Lake Superior. A previous study found no evidence of kamloops introgression, but a...
The Largemouth Bass Micropterus salmoides includes two recognized subspecies, the Northern Largemouth Bass (NLMB; M. salmoides salmoides) and the Florida Largemouth Bass (FLMB; M. salmoides floridanus), which can hybridize to produce introgressed Largemouth Bass (ILMB; NLMB × FLMB). Largemouth Bass were introduced into Puerto Rico by using source p...
This plan is a comprehensive guide on how to best manage Minnesota's portion of the Lake Superior fishery.
The plan is written for use by both the MN DNR Fisheries Management Section and citizens interested in
the management of Minnesota's Lake Superior fishery resource. This plan is based on a fish community
approach to fisheries management and hi...
Both social and demographic factors can affect size structure of bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) populations, but these two factors have not been assessed in South Dakota impoundments. We compared length and age at maturity of bluegill in four southeastern South Dakota impoundments (two with historically low size structure and two with historically...
Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) are the primary sport fish in Puerto Rico reservoirs and the majority of management efforts directed at this species primarily employ electrofishing in sampling activities. However, little attention has been given to evaluating electrofishing sampling ef-ficiency in these systems. To evaluate differences in d...
