QFC’s Assistance with Updated Lake Erie Walleye Management Plan Acknowledged


Over the last several years multiple QFC staff members, including Mike Jones (co-Director), Matt Catalano (former Post-Doc), Aaron Berger (former PhD student), Lisa Peterson (current PhD student), Reneé Reilly (current Post-Doc), and John Syslo (current Post-Doc), have been involved with and facilitated the Lake Eric Percid Management Advisory Group (LEPMAG). The purpose of LEPMAG has been to improve decision making for the management of percid populations in Lake Erie through a structured decision making process involving state and provincial fishery management agencies on Lake Erie and stakeholders. Recently, the Lake Erie walleye management plan was updated to reflect what has been learned from the LEPMAG process and the QFC’s involvement in LEPMAG was acknowledged.
