Abstract:
Indigenous lacustrine populations of bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) and lake trout (S. namaycush) are spatially separated within the southern part of the zone of distributional overlap (northern Montana, southwestern Alberta, and east-central British Columbia). In this area, lake trout occurred primarily in mountain lakes of 1032–1500 m elevation, while bull trout were found primarily in lakes between 1500 and 2200 m. Introductions of lake trout in the twentieth century and data obtained from beyond the study area indicated that both fishes can establish significant allopatric populations

The distribution of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) with respect to water temperature, dissolved oxygen, and light intensity was surveyed in three small Canadian Shield lakes at the Experimental Lakes Area, northwestern Ontario.

During the day, lake trout were concentrated at 4-8°C in Lake 375, broadly distributed from 6 to 15°C in Lake 442, and concentrated in the epilimnion at 19°C in Lake 468.

We had the rare opportunity to study the diets of bull trout and nonnative lake trout in Swan Lake, Montana during a concomitant study.

Abstract:
A new approach was used to evaluate the Wisconsin bioenergetics model for lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush). Lake trout in laboratory tanks were fed alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) and rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax), prey typical of lake trout in Lake Michigan. Food consumption and growth by lake trout during the experiment were measured. Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentrations of the alewife and rainbow smelt, as well as of the lake trout at the beginning and end of the experiment, were determined. From these data, we calculated that lake trout retained 81% of the PCBs contained within t

Creel and lake survey data from 87 Ontario lakes with self-sustaining lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) populations were analysed to determine the effect of intrinsic factors, such as fish community structure, and extrinsic factors, such as angling-effort, on the observed yields of lake trout. Multiple regression analyses showed that angling-effort and lake area, in order of importance, explained almost 82% of the variation in annual catches. Analyses of covariance were used to test a variety of hypotheses about how community structure — the presence of forage, competitors, or alternate sports

A large historical data set from the Adirondack region of New York was compiled to study the relationship between water chemistry variables associated with acid precipitation and the presence/absence of selected fish species. The data set was used to examine simple statistical models for fish presence/absence, as a function of the water chemistry variables, for brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), white sucker (Catostomus commersoni), and yellow perch (Perca flavescens). Of these models, only those for brook trout and lake trout were found to be acceptable ba

Six small Newfoundland lakes were fished with gillnets over a 3–6 yr period in a manner typical of standard lake surveys where surveyors have a fixed amount of gear available, but lake size varies. Catch and effort data for brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) were examined for the purpose of selecting an appropriate measure of the relative abundance of trout. Fishing effort was not a function of lake area but fishing intensity or fishing effort per unit area varied inversely with lake area.

Two strains of each species, and one of the splake hybrid were examined. At 10 °C the ranking of specific growth rate from highest to lowest for species was: rainbow trout, lake trout, splake, brook trout. At 16 °C the order was: brook trout, rainbow trout, splake, and lake trout. Brook trout, rainbow trout and splake had significantly higher specific growth rates at 16 °C

However, neither biomass nor P/B changed significantly over time. Long-term patterns of environmental conditions remained unchanged during the study and were unrelated to cisco production.

Lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) growth rates were lower in Lake Superior (with the lowest prey density) than in Lakes Michigan and Ontario. In contrast, consumption rates (estimated using bioenergetics models) of lake trout were similar in Lakes Superior, Michigan, and Ontario because the primary prey in Lake Superior, rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax), have a lower energy content than the primary prey in Lakes Michigan and Ontario, alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus). Estimated consumption rates did not respond to three-to five-fold changes in prey density within lakes and were similar across a 100

Brown trout (Salmo trutta) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) from eight New Zealand lakes were aged by length-frequency analysis and by examining otoliths, pectoral fin rays and scales. Bimonthly changes in the length frequency of age classes were used to age fish for their first 2 or 3 years of life. Growth rates were highest in spring and summer, when a single wide opaque band was laid down on otoliths and fin rays, followed by a narrow transparent band in winter. Age estimates from otoliths agreed with 94-97% of those from length-frequency methods and with the ages of 21 tagged fish.

Prey size structure was important for young lake trout but decreased in importance for older lake trout, especially with increasing prey density.

Therefore, we used a combination of stomach content and stable isotope analyses to evaluate trophic characteristics within the aquatic species assemblage in Fallen Leaf Lake.
