- 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

Molecular Recognition Based Sensing of Critical and Emerging LaMP Pollutants: A Versatile New Nano-engineered Materials Approach Project
- Design, construction, demonstration and optimization of versatile new sensors and sensor materials for critical and emerging LaMP and EPA pollutants
Predicting Zebra Mussel Transport in Rivers and Estuaries
- Identify the main mechanisms affecting physical transport in the Illinois and Hudson Rivers
- Model the less well-understood mechanisms in detail
- Construct a single model that combines the physical transport mechanisms with the biology and population dynamics
- Identify the processes controlling the transport and settlement patterns
Exploring the Role of Food Availability to Yellow Perch Recruitment Success
- Count zooplankton already collected from Green Bay
- Contribute to a lakewide understanding of mechanisms limiting recruitment of yellow perch
- Provide information useful to fisheries managers
Outdoor Recreation and the NSRE: An Examination of Nature Based Learning Activities with a Focus on Water
- Provide and enhance the description of recreation participants in the nature based and specfiically
water related learning activities - Segment recreation participants by applying the Three-step Procedural Model (activity packages,
sociodemographic background, trip-related characteristics, environmental attitudes; and expenditure information) - Determine how the activity segments differ in terms of geographic, sociodemographic, travel trip, expenditure, attitudes and other characteristics
- Provide recommendations for public and private recreation organizations interested in the outdoor
recreation market
