As a Fish Biologist with the Aquatic Invasive Species(AIS) Early Detection and Monitoring Program at theGreen Bay Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office(FWCO), my efforts focus on sampling for AIS inLake Michigan and associated tributaries. However,as U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service)employees, we are privileged to be part of an agencycommitted to providing opportunities to stay currentwith the constantly expanding science of Fish andAquatic Resource Management. In fact, workforcemanagement (e.g., cross-training with other Serviceprograms, attending NCTC training courses, etc.) isa key element of the vision of the USFWS –Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Program. TheService’s mentality provides employees theopportunity to gain diverse skill sets that are criticalfor professional development but also nurtures high-level science and creative, inter-disciplinary solutionsto complex natural resource issues. For thesereasons, I seized the opportunity to assist theService’s Great Lakes Fish Tag and Recovery Lab(GLFTRL) when our AIS field work was completedfor the year.
The GLFTRL, working with state Department ofNatural Resources has fin-clipped and coded-wire tagged (CWT;see Field Notes titled “Sixth Year of Great Lakes Chinook Salmonto be Mass Marked” for more information on tagging) over 50million hatchery-reared Chinook Salmon and Lake Trout releasedin Lakes Michigan and Huron since 2010. All Lake Trout stockedin those lakes have also received a fin clip and CWT since 2010for a similar study. Each CWT is a 1.1 mm long piece of wireimplanted into each fish’s snout and engraved with a six-digitnumber specific to a group of fish from the same hatchery and
stocking location. TheGLFTRL coordinatesan annual field effort(see Field Notes titled“Great Lakes Fish Tagand Recovery LabConcludes Coded-Wire Tag Extractionsand Biological DataCollection from the 2015 Salmonine Fishery” for more information) on LakesMichigan and Huron to recover CWTs and collect biological data from angler-caughtfish. This effort, in conjunction with state DNR weir and creel surveys, providesinsight into the age structure, movement, natal stream fidelity, and wild recruitmentof Chinook Salmon and Lake Trout, as well as information on other species(Steelhead Trout, Coho Salmon and Brown Trout), to improve future stocking andmanagement efforts. This would be my cross-training exercise – assisting with theannual GLFTRL field effort to recover CWTs.
Our plan for the day was to recover coded-wire tags from mature Chinook salmon atthe Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Strawberry Creek ChinookSalmon Facility on October 11th, 2016. This facility is the oldest egg take facility inWisconsin and has produced Chinook Salmon for the Lake Michigan fishery since1969. The GLFTRL has assisted WIDNR in past years with recovering tagged

Lake Sturgeon research at Genoa National FishHatchery (NFH) continued this summer to determinean optimal temperature for growth of juvenile fish.This project aims to capture maximum growth andfeed rates of juvenile lake sturgeon over a widetemperature range of 10-26°C. The project started in2015 and all data is expected to be collected by fallof 2017. Each year constant temperature pointswithin the study range have been chosen to evaluategrowth rates at a given temperature, thus makingthis a multi-year project. Eggs for this study havebeen collected from the Wolf River, Wisconsin andbrought back to the hatchery for incubation. Oncefish are feeding on whole bloodworms they areplaced into experimental temperature treatments tobegin the study. Fish are fed three times a day aration of bloodworms to satiation, therefore offeringan excess of food from what they normally wouldconsume in order to determine maximum growthrates and identify consumption rates. In addition todetermining maximum growth rate, consumptionrates were determined by recording amount of foodfed and the amount of food not consumed at eachfeeding event. Determining the amount of foodjuvenile sturgeon require daily is important in a culture facility to maximize size of fish at stocking and to minimize food and
operational costs during approximately a five month grow out period. Hence,determining the optimal rearing temperature for growth of juveniles in the hatchery isessential for planning production programs and to predict length of fish at stocking.To calculate growth rates hatchery biologist recorded weekly length and weight datafrom each temperature treatment by measuring and weighing individual fish. Thisdata will allow the hatchery to develop a linear growth model to determine optimalgrowth rate and daily length increase will be calculated to project specific fish growthat a given temperature. Many hatcheries have the ability to heat or cool water tocontrol watertemperatures for fishgrowth. Determiningthe optimaltemperature for growthwill allow biologist toselect watertemperatures duringthe production seasonthat will maximizegrowth. Oncecompleted this studywill be a helpful tool toallow managers toconstruct growthmodels for productionprograms, project size
at stocking and project feed rates for juvenile lake sturgeon.

The Great Lakes Fish Tag and Recovery Lab, headquartered at the Green Bay Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office (FWCO),has concluded tagging 93 lots of the 2016 year class of lake trout. The team tagged 4,916,035 lake trout with a coded wire tag(CWT) and adipose fin clip (AD) at three US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) Region 3 National Fish Hatcheries (NFH), oneUSFWS Region 5 NFH and one Michigan Department of Natural Resources State Fish Hatchery (SFH) between July 13 andSeptember 27. The lake trout tagged at Marquette, Pendills Creek, Jordan River and Iron River hatcheries are destined forstocking into lakes Michigan and Huron; the lake trout tagged at Allegheny hatchery are stocked into lakes Erie and Ontario.
To accomplish this task, the lab operated threemobile tagging trailers that automatically injects aCWT and removes the adipose fin of hatchery rearedfish with little human handling. The CWT is a 1.1-mmlong piece of stainless steel wire etched with a six-digit code that is unique to a group of fish, referringto its year class, strain, stocking location andhatchery origin.
The information gained from CWT returns providesthe Service and its partners the ability to evaluate therestoration program from lake trout in lakes Michiganand Huron. Information gained from the recapture ofthese fish in future years in assessment and sportfisheries include: estimates of natural reproduction,growth rates, evaluate post-release survival ofvarious strains and year classes, movement of laketrout within and among the lakes, assess thecontributions of the hatchery-reared and wild fish toregional fisheries, and to evaluate the performanceof rearing and stocking practices. A mission of theService is restoration of native species to the GreatLakes, specifically the lake trout. By tagging andrecovery of lake trout through assessment surveysand sport catches, fishery managers are provided atool to monitor the success of rehabilitation of laketrout in lakes Michigan and Huron.
Since the program’s inception in 2010, over 39 million lake trout stocked into the Great Lakes have been ADCWT by the Lab. Inaddition, 23 million Chinook salmon, Atlantic salmon, brook trout and brown trout have been coded-wire tagged and/or adiposefin clipped. The program is currently funded by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.

In response to declining monarch butterflypopulations the Genoa National Fish Hatchery (NFH)has made it a priority to participate in the MonarchJoint Venture to conserve monarch butterfly habitatalong this migratory species 3,000 mile migrationroute. Last year hundreds of milkweed pods werecollected and distributed around the hatchery’s 75acres of suitable habitat providing an even greateramount of seeds to collect this fall. Numerous adultmonarchs and caterpillars were observed around thehatchery this summer all over on the plantedmilkweed. This fall staff at the Genoa NFH was at itagain collecting milkweed seeds and nearly doubledlast year’s take. In total roughly 10 gallons ofmilkweed seeds were collected and cleaned to beplanted again at the hatchery. Not all of the seedscollected will be planted directly on station however.The hatchery has also taken steps to engage othersin monarch conservation including area schools.Monarch seeds will be given to participating outdoorclassroom program partners to plant and grow in theclassroom so that when spring arrives they can planttheir crops of milkweed. Teachers in these
classrooms are incorporating monarch butterfly life cycle andrestoration lessons in their science curricula with the help ofGenoa NFH staff. Students are being taught about milkweedrestoration and the importance of the monarch’s host speciesmilkweed in the Midwest for butterfly migration.

Each year the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Genoa National Fish Hatchery collectsor receives eggs from four to five different river strains of lake sturgeon to rear for anumber of strain specific lake sturgeon restoration efforts. Much planning andforethought is required to maximize the genetic contribution of each river strain bymaximizing the number of parents and using the highest quality candidates for eggand milt collection. One other variable found in white sturgeon restorationpropagation programs is the tendency for white sturgeon to add an extra set ofchromosomes during the early cleavage stage of egg cell division. This could havenegative effects in sturgeon recovery programs if progeny of these "polyploids" aresterile. It has also been questioned whether polyploids may be more prevalent afterhormone injections commonly used to initiate spawning in wild captured sturgeonbroodstock during egg collection events that occur in a very small time window ofavailability. The hatchery set out to test this hypothesis on lake sturgeon populationswith the help of some very valuable partners.
Jenny Bailey of the La Crosse Fish Health Center was trained in the use of flowcytometry, a method to detect normal and abnormal ploidy levels in a large variety ofspecies. With her assistance, the hatchery also is working on techniques todetermine sturgeon ploidy with another technology, the particle multisizer. With bothof these methods, it isalso possible toground truth anyabnormal ploidyreadings in order toreduce error.Guidance is also being
provided by Professor Andrea Schreirer and Joel Van Eenennaamof the University of California Davis, (U.C. Davis) College ofBiological Science. Both of these individuals have personalexperience determining abnormal ploidy levels of white sturgeon.
This project is a multi-year effort, with the first year examiningploidy of parents and eggs from free flowing Wolf River strain lakesturgeon, and parents and eggs of hormone induced spawners ofthe St. Lawrence River strain. This year's results on the culturedprogeny are still being analyzed. However, no polyploidy eventswere detected in the relatively small sample size of wild lakesturgeon parents. Next year’s efforts will continue to enlarge our sample size of both wild and hatchery lineage fish, whileexamining fry at early life stages. Many thanks to Megan Bradley and Nathan Eckert of our hatchery staff for taking on the addedduties, U.C. Davis for their guidance, and the La Crosse Fish Health Center and Midwest Fisheries Center for their staff andfacilities to ensure that we release the most fit fish possible to increase our restoration success.

The main goal of the Carterville Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office (FWCO) Wilmington substation is monitoring andpreventing upstream dispersal of Asian carp in the Illinois Waterway. In order to achieve this goal, many hours are spentelectrofishing, gillnetting, and conducting sonar scans of the Des Plaines River, Illinois River, and Chicago Area WaterwaySystem (CAWS). Despite extensive electrofishing effort in the CAWS, no Asian carp have been captured above the electricdispersal barrier since 2010. Instead, the result of this effort has been the capture of other introduced fish species such asRound Goby and the Oriental Weather Loach.
Oriental Weather Loach also called the Pond Loach or Weather Fish, are a popular aquarium fish imported from East Asia thathave become an invasive species in our waterways. They have been reported in water bodies across the United States (US),including the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the CAWS. The Oriental Weather Loach is named for their supposed abilityto predict the weather. These fish respond to changes in barometric pressure by swimming frantically and generally becomingmore active. The actual accuracy of Oriental Weather Loach to predict incoming storms has not been evaluated.
The native habitat of the Weather Loach is in slow moving waters of the Tugur and Amur River basins of East Asia. Their rangeis from Siberia to northern Vietnam, and also includes Japan. This species is well adapted to survive in river conditions with slowflows and silt substrates like those found in many United States rivers that have been modified by dams. Oriental Weather Loachare bottom feeders with diets consisting of benthic aquatic insects and detritus. They are able to tolerate extreme waterconditions or poor habitat quality and are even capable of using their intestine as a supplementary breathing organ in order tolive in low oxygen conditions. This adaptation also allows them to burrow in sediment to escape predation and survive shortperiods of drought.
The widespread introductions and broad ecological niche of Oriental Weather Loach has led to breeding populations beingestablished in several basins throughout the continental US and Hawaii. Populations in California, Michigan, and Louisianawere introduced as a result of fish escaping from Goldfish farms and other aquaculture facilities. Hawaii populations are thoughtto have come from immigrants introducing the fish as a food source. Populations in other parts of the US, like the population inthe Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and upstream pools of the Illinois River, are likely a result of aquarium releases.
As with any aquatic nuisance species there are some negative effects of expanding populations of Oriental Weather Loach. Themain concern is that increased Weather Loach abundance can lead to a decrease in benthic macro-invertebrates. Since macro-invertebrates are the primary food source for many juvenile game fish species and other native fish an increasing population ofWeather Loach would mean more competition for macro-invertebrate prey. This competition, coupled with the hardiness of theOriental Weather Loach to surviving in poor water quality, like that of the Chicago Area Waterway System, may lead toexpanding populations and yet another aquatic nuisance species threatening US waterways.

Alpena FWCO Attends 69th Annual Waterfowl Festival: A Waterfowl Hunting Tradition
BY JESSICA LOUGHNER, ALPENA FWCO - WATERFORD, MI SUBSTATION
This year the Alpena Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office (FWCO) – Waterford Substation attended the 69th annual PointeMouillee Waterfowl Festival in the Pointe Mouillee State Game Area located near Brownstown, Michigan. This two-day eventtypically draws in around 8,000 – 10,000 attendees. Proceeds from this festival go to the Pointe Mouillee Marsh RestorationProject, which is the largest marsh restoration project in North America. The Pointe Mouillee State Game Area is also locatedwithin the Detroit International Wildlife Refuge, the future home of the Waterford Substation.
Participants could get involved in different events, contests, and championships. Events this year included decoy contests, anarts and craft show, duck and goose calling contests, dog jumping contests, sling shot contests, hip boot races, and multipleshooting championships. Many local vendors were selling outdoor and hunting related items at the event. There were also manykids’ activities, such as a BB gun and archery shoot, a bounce house, and face painting. Children particularly enjoyed buildingtheir own birdhouses with assistance from staff of the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge.
Alpena FWCO staff was able to display the restoration and monitoring programs that they work on in this area of Michigan,specifically in the Detroit River and Lake Erie. Two young Lake Sturgeon, gear and equipment used to conduct field work, LakeSturgeon field work photos and videos, two replicas of different Asian Carp species, and other preserved samples of invasivespecies in the Great Lakes such as the Round Goby, Sea Lamprey, and Zebra Mussels were on display. Children and adultswere able to see Lake Sturgeon up close, several for the first time, and many asked great questions about Lake Sturgeon andthe status of their restoration in the Great Lakes. Several people were also interested in the state of invasive species in the GreatLakes and the potential impact if more invasive fish species were to enter the Great Lakes. This event was a great opportunityfor Alpena FWCO staff to inform thousands of people about the work that is currently being conducted in an area that many ofthese people use for recreation and hunting, as well as reside.

Midwest Region Fisheries Divisions
National Fish HatcheriesThe Region’s National Fish Hatcheries (NFH) focus on native species recoveryand restoration. Primary species include: lake trout, endangered pallidsturgeon, and endangered, threatened, and native mussels. Other majorprograms include coaster brook trout and lake sturgeon restoration, fulfillingtribal trust responsibilities for native aquatic species, and cost reimbursedrainbow trout production for recreational fishing. Hatcheries also providetechnical assistance to other agencies, provide fish and eggs for research, anddevelop and maintain brood stocks of various species and strains.
Fish and Wildlife Conservation OfficesFish and Wildlife Conservation Offices (FWCO) conduct assessments of fishpopulations to guide management decisions, play a key role in targeting andimplementing native fish and habitat restoration programs; perform keymonitoring and control activities related to aquatic invasive species; survey andevaluate aquatic habitats to identify restoration/rehabilitation opportunities;work with private land owners, states, local governments and watershedorganizations to complete aquatic habitat restoration projects under theService’s National Fish Passage Program, National Fish Habitat Partnerships,Partners for Fish and Wildlife and the Great Lakes Coastal Programs; providecoordination and technical assistance toward the management of interjurisdictional fisheries; maintain and operate several keyinteragency fisheries databases; provide technical expertise to other Service programs addressing contaminants, endangeredspecies, federal project review and hydro-power operation and relicensing; evaluate and manage fisheries on Service lands;and, provide technical support to 38 Native American tribal governments and treaty authorities.
Sea Lamprey Biological StationsThe Fish and Wildlife Service is the United States Agent for sea lamprey control, with two Biological Stations assessing andmanaging sea lamprey populations throughout the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes Fishery Commission administers the SeaLamprey Management Program, with funding provided through the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Department of the Interior,and Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
Fish Health CenterThe Fish Health Center provides specialized fish health evaluation and diagnostic services to federal, state and tribal hatcheriesin the region; conducts extensive monitoring and evaluation of wild fish health; examines and certifies the health of captivehatchery stocks; and, performs a wide range of special services helping to coordinate fishery program offices and partnerorganizations. The Whitney Genetics Lab serves as a leading edge genetics laboratory and conducts environmental DNA(eDNA) sample processing for early detection of invasive species.
Whitney Genetics LabThe Whitney Genetics lab provides environmental DNA (eDNA) surveillance for the early detection of invasive Silver andBighead carp as part of the Asian Carp Regional Coordinating Committee’s plans to detect, monitor, and respond to the threat ofinvasive carp in the Great Lakes. The lab also provides analysis for determining the ploidy of wild-caught Black and Grass carp,two more invasive carp species.
