Major Goals and Objectives

• Determine the factors that affect the survival of larval yellow perch in Lake Michigan
• Determine where young of the year yellow perch reside and are transported during the period between when the yolk is absorbed and when they are dispersed
• Document, based on thermal history in the otoliths and stable isotopes in the muscle whether life histories of alewife or benthic fish are closer to yellow perch thermal life histories
• Determine the impact of wind-driven movements of water masses on young of the year yellow perch distribution
