🌶️🔥HOT OFF THE PRESS🔥🌶️ New paper on #YellowPerch diets, comparing diets in #LakeStClair to nearby #GreatLakes waters and to historical diets in Lake St. Clair. Perch growth has declined in Lake St. Clair, and diets have shifted since the 90s.

Both capture events for this #sturgeon were in the North Channel of the #StClairRiver. This fish was not aged, but based on its length was likely 9-16 years old in 2022, making it 11-18 years old in 2024. #GreatLakes

In honor of many anglers being able to get out on the ice and target #YellowPerch on Lake St. Clair, here is a fact sheet we put together a couple years ago allowing you to estimate the age and likely sex and maturity of a #LakeStClair perch based on length. #GreatLakes #Fishing
