Summary

This data release presents part of historical fisheries-dependent data for Cisco (Coregonus artedi) in Green Bay of Lake Michigan and Saginaw Bay of Lake Huron collected by scientists from U.S. Geological Survey's Great Lakes Science Center, including three tables for monthly Cisco-catch and fishing-effort data and two tables for biological data of Cisco individuals. The monthly Cisco-catch and fishing-effort data tables are for small-mesh gill-net fisheries in Green Bay and Saginaw Bay (GBSB_GN.csv), pound-net fisheries in Green Bay and Saginaw Bay (GBSB_PD.csv), and shallow trap-net fishery in Saginaw Bay (SB_ST.csv) in the period 1929–1970. The biological data of Cisco individuals are from historical Saginaw Bay Cisco scale collections [...]

Purpose

These commercial Cisco catch data were collected, compiled, and summarized by scientists from the Great Lakes Science Center with a purpose to support fisheries management. These data can be used to understand historical Cisco population dynamics in Green Bay and Saginaw Bay, and are intended for use by fisheries managers, academia, the fishing industry, and the public.
