In November, Biologist Anjanette Bowen provided crayfish samples collected from the St. Marys River to Jody Murray with the University of Notre Dame. 

Murray is documenting the distribution of all crayfish species around the Great Lakes. Alpena FRO collected the crayfish samples during a fish community survey of the St. Marys River with variable mesh gillnets in August and ANS surveillance bottom trawling in September. 

The crayfish were collected from a number of areas from Sault Ste. Marie to DeTour Village.
