Cooperative Agreement for affiliated Partner with Great Lakes – Northern Forest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU)
The U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center (GLSC) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU Partner for a research project to describe the growth and diet of alewife in the nearshore environments across Lake Michigan.
This work aims to improve understanding of how differences in diet and growth, driven by abiotic and biotic conditions, may impact alewife survival at the larval stage, ultimately influencing recruitment to the population.
By sampling across regions with contrasting lower trophic productivity in a single sample year, can examine lake wide patterns in larval production, growth, and diet while generating hypotheses regarding mechanisms that may result in boom or bust recruitment events.
