The Great Lakes are 1.6 degrees Celsius warmer than they were in the 1940s, according to daily temperature readings from the City of Belleville’s pumping station that draws water from the Bay of Quinte.
For fish, that’s a significant change that affects all aspects of their physiology, from spawning rates to growth to feeding patterns. Casselman’s research shows rising temperatures have caused a two-and-a-half fold decrease in the population of cold water fish such as northern pike or trout, while fueling a population boom for warm water fish such as bass.

Not to worry. The Asian carp will take them over and feed on Zebra mussels.
Shawn H Corey And then all we need to do is to find another invasive species to feed on Asian carp. Brilliant!
grace diemand Invasive naked apes will do. You just have to cook the carp until the bones are soft.
Shawn H Corey Good one…Yes the naked apes are working on great solutions to poverty, disease, aging, crime, etc by engineering the end of times. Brilliant!
