Default Re: There Are No Fish In Michigan

Most of what I've read about the Whitefish decline in the Great Lakes attributes it to recruitment issues, not over fishing and points to the decline being caused by invasive Zebra and Quaggas Mussels. They started showing up in the early 90s and since they are filter feeders, they compete for the same plankton that juvenile Whitefish feed on to mature.
