Purpose

These data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center (GLSC) to better understand the feeding ecology and potential consumption of stocked juvenile lake trout in Northern Lake Michigan by lake trout and burbot. These data are intended for use by Lake Michigan fisheries managers, academia, the fishing industry, and the public. Data can be used to estimate diet proportions of lake trout and burbot.
