introductions include 25 non-indigenous fish species in the Laurentian Great lakes (Mills et al. ). By the ’s excessive fishing and interactions between native and exotic species caused the collapse of lake trout, lake herring, and deepwater cisco populations in the Great Lakes (Hile et al. ; Jensen ; Coble et al. ). Laurentian Great Lakes since before the turn of the 19th century. Fishery exploitation (due to an Introduction The Laurentian Great Lakes have experienced numerous ecological changes since their stocks, salmonine stocking programs, and control of nutrient and toxic substances as the successes. The Great Lakes, also called the Great Lakes of North America, are a series of large interconnected freshwater lakes in the upper mid-east region of North America that connect to the Atlantic Ocean through the Saint Lawrence general, they are on or near the Canada–United States are lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario.

After eggs were reared to fry, Michigan hatcheries functioned as sending systems, delivering salmon smolts to recipient tributaries in lakes.

The classic example is the Galapagos (Darwin's) finches, thought to have begun their radiation a few million years ago, comparable with Lake Baikal and the African Great Lakes (Grant and Grant, ). The Laurentian Great Lakes (LGL) have existed long enough for some intrageneric speciation (Todd et al., ) and microevolution (Crowder, ). Laurentian Mountains, mountains forming the Quebec portion of the Canadian Shield, particularly the area partially bounded by the Ottawa, St. Lawrence, and Saguenay rivers. It is one of the oldest mountain regions in the world and consists of Precambrian rocks (those more than million years. Abstract The Laurentian Great Lakes of North America provide valuable ecosystem services, includ-ing ﬁsheries, to the surrounding population. Given the prevalence of other anthropogenic stressors that have historically affected the ﬁsheries of the Great Lakes (e.g., . salmonine species. To understand how salmonines are adjusting to a changed ecosystem, we collected 1, stomachs from five salmonine species in Most fish were caught by Lake Michigan anglers surveyed by the Great Lakes Mass Marking Program, a multi-agency project coordinated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The offshore fish community of Lake Ontario is presently dominated by intensively managed, nonnative species: Alewife Alosa pseudoharengus and rainbow smelt Osmerus mordax at the planktivore level and stocked salmonines at the piscivore level.

Salmonine stocking rates per unit area of Lake Ontario are the highest in the Great Lakes, and fishery managers are concerned about the sustainability. We revise the estimated date for introduction of rudd (S. erythopthalmus) to the Great Lakes basin to be significantly earlier than Mills report of the species in Lake Ontario in with a series of introductions of the species into the Finger Lakes region of New York beginning in the s.

The purpose of this review is to provide a global perspective on Oncorhynchus salmonine introductions and put-and-take fisheries based on modern stocking programs, with special emphasis on freshwater ecosystems.

We survey the global introductions of nine selected salmonines of the genus Oncorhynchus: golden trout, cutthroat trout, pink salmon, chum salmon, coho salmon.
