Summary

Data includes hatch, unfertilized, underdeveloped, and larval mortality count data of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) eggs fertilized from adult gametes collected within Northern Refuge reefs in Lake Michigan conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey Great Lakes Science Center during Fall 2019 gill net survey. Adult lake trout were collected using gill net (4.5, 5.5, and 6.0 inch) panels. Gametes were removed and fertilized in the field and then incubated at the Great Lakes Science Center Aquatic Research Laboratory in Ann Arbor, MI. Results are reported as date, collection reef, latitude, longitude, tray number, reef panel, and counts (unfertilized, dead or unsuccessful hatch, hatched, and larval mortality).

Purpose

Adults were collected during fall gillnet surveys in 2019 within the Northern Refuge of Lake Michigan, fertilized in the field, and brought to the U.S. Geological Survey Great Lakes Science Center Aquatic Research Laboratory in Ann Arbor, MI. Hatch rate data of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) eggs collected from Lake Michigan at reefs within the Northern Refuge conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey during Fall 2019 with eggs being incubated through 2019 into 2020. The results of this effort have been used by other USGS centers, university collaborators, and natural resource management agencies within the Great Lakes basin to determine the overall health of lake trout.
