Lake Whitefish populations have suffered significant declines over the past 50+ years across the southern extent of their range. This project aims to develop a method for assessing Lake Whitefish recruitment through the use of light trapping as a safer, passive, and cost-effective method for documenting Lake Whitefish recruitment while also assessing the present zooplankton assemblages.
