Abstract
Jerald Schnoor’s editorial describes the recent changes in Lake Huron’s aquatic ecosystem as a trophic collapse and attributes this collapse to invasive species dominating energy and nutrient flows in the food web. As state and federal
scientists who are closely monitoring Lake Huron’s food web, we believe that the ongoing changes are more accurately characterized as a trophic shift in which benthic pathways have become more prominent. While decreases in abundance have occurred for some species, others are experiencing improved reproduction resulting in the restoration of several important native species.
