During the past 20-30 years, some of the native Great Lakes fish species have declined in abundance to the point where they are now classified as threatened or endangered. As such fish as the coregonines and the four-horned sculpin have declined, other species, including the smelt and the white perch, have reproduced and spread to the extent that they threaten other fish populations. Moreover, carp, suckers and freshwater drum are being considered as possible sources of animal feed. Fish stocking, commercial and sport fishing, water quality monitoring, and sea lamprey control are discussed for the Great Lakes basin. (1 diagram, 3 graphs, 3 maps, 4 references, 4 tables)
