Reproductive life-history strategies in lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) from the Laurentian Great Lakes
Abstract
Recent food-web changes in the Laurentian Great Lakes are affecting energy and nutrient allocation to lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) with potential downstream effects on egg condition and recruitment. We tested whether egg condition was conserved or varied with maternal condition in eight stocks from Lakes Erie, Michigan, and Superior.
