Researcher Uses DNA Analysis to Monitor Fish Populations in Lake Erie

12:00 pm, Mon September 10, 2007 –

Ohio Sea Grant Researcher Dr. Carol Stepien, University of Toledo Lake Erie Center, has identified areas within Lake Erie where the genetic diversity of walleye and smallmouth bass populations vary significantly. According to Stepien’s data, walleye exhibit high gene flow (shared genetic variation) and smallmouth bass exhibit mainly low gene flow (unique genetic variation). Stepien’s data will be used to create a database for Great Lakes agencies to monitor walleye and smallmouth bass fish stocks via the Internet.
