James H. Selgeby Wayne R. MacCallum 1987 <p><span>The Lake Superior fish community has changed substantially since the early 1960s, when control of the sea lamprey (</span><i>Petromyzon marinus</i><span>) became effective. Self-reproducing stocks of lake trout (</span><i>Salvelinus namaycush</i><span>) have been reestablished in many inshore areas, although they have not yet reached pre-sea lamprey abundance; offshore lake trout are probably at or near pre-sea lamprey abundance. Stocks of lake whitefish (</span><i>Coregonus clupeaformis</i><span>) appear to have fully recovered; commercial catches are at or above historical levels. Lake herring (</span><i>Coregonus artedii</i><span>) are recovering rapidly in U.S. waters and are abundant in western Canadian waters. The population of rainbow smelt (</span><i>Osmerus mordax</i><span>), which declined in the 1970s, is recovering. Pacific salmon (</span><i>Oncorhynchus</i><span>) are becoming more abundant as a result of increased stocking in U.S. waters and are reproducing in most suitable tributaries; they have become significant in anglers' creels.</span></p> application/pdf 10.1139/f87-306 en NRC Research Press Lake Superior revisited 1984 article
