GRADUATE STUDENT OPPORTUNITY

Ecological Genetics and Mixed Stock Analysis of Rainbow Smelt

Funding is available for an M.Sc. student to work at the University
of Guelph cooperatively with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources
and the Lake Erie commercial fishing industry to undertake an ecological
genetics study and mixed stock analysis of rainbow smelt in Lake Erie.

The project objectives are to:
1.  genetically characterize rainbow smelt sampled from specific 
locations (spawning grounds and open lake fishing grounds) in the west 
central, central, and eastern basins of Lake Erie).
2.  test whether smelt from these sampling sites represent discrete 
stocks which are differentiated from each other.
3.  provide information related to the genetic composition of the catch 
from three open fishing grounds (west central, central and eastern 
basins) which will assist in management decisions related to how 
commercial fishing activity and harvest from these grounds should be managed.

The project will begin in spring 1997.
