special interest include: chubs, up more than a million pounds for a 60.5% 

 increase; sturgeon, up nearly 11,000 pounds; and lake trout, down by 105,000 

 pounds. Carp, white bass, northern pike and saugers all showed increased 

 landings. 



It is of note that lake trout production from Lake Superior was down from 

 122,000 pounds to 48,000 pounds, a drop of 60.7%. It would appear that this 

 decrease is related to lamprey predation and continues the downward trend 

 prevailing in this fishery since 1955.
