Hello All,

I am compiling information regarding the historical distribution of 
Atlantic salmon in Lake Ontario (Prior to 1900).  Atlantic salmon 
were once very abundant in Lake Ontario, but were extirpated about 1890
through a combination of dam construction, deforestation, over-fishing,
and water pollution.

Our group here at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry has
recently initiated a research program for restoration of Atlantic salmon
to New York tributaries of Lake Ontario.  As part of this project,
historical records and literature are being searched in an attempt to
describe as accurately as possible the historical distribution of salmon
in these tribs.

Any information, in the form of diary entries, old photographs, oral
tradition, local history books, or any other source would be most helpful
and greatly appreciated.  This information will eventually be incorporated
into a graduate thesis, and all sources will receive acknowledgement.

I can be reached many ways:
