Ashland office fish biologists, Jonathan Pyatskowit, Glenn Miller, Gary Czypinski, and Henry Quinlan, and office administrator, Joan Bratley worked together to summarize data on lake trout, lake whitefish, siscowet, cisco, and all species collected during aquatic nuisance species surveys for the Lake Superior State of the Lake report. 

Biologists conducted surveys and assisted Bratley with data entry.  Bratley and Quinlan queried the database records and provided data to partner fishery agencies.  Fishery agencies actively involved with the Great Lakes Fishery Commission Lake Superior Technical Committee are contributing data and expertise to develop oral presentations for the 2007 Lake Committee meetings which will feature Lake Superior's aquatic ecosystem. 

The presentations will be followed with written reports.  Quinlan serves as a member of the Technical Committee and is the lead for the lake sturgeon and brook trout sections and a contributor for the very nearshore fish community section.
