| INSTANT SURVEY VOTE ON - POLL s644 Should Wisconsin step up efforts to reduce the cormorant population in Green Bay and Lake Michigan? |  | ||||||||||
Cormorant population decreasing along Green Bay, Lake MichiganThe cormorant population is in decline, but is it dropping fast enough?
"I anticipate that this year's removal of around 2,500 adult birds coupled with ongoing egg-oiling efforts will result in future reductions in the cormorant population, and bring us closer to the goals set for the managed islands," said Tammie Paoli, a fish biologist with the Department of Natural Resources in Peshtigo. | |||||||||||

"All things considered the chinook return at Strawberry Creek this year took a very positive turn after generally declining trends of numbers and size of fish returning to the weir," says Scott Hansen, the Department of Natural Resources fisheries biologist heading up egg collection activities at the Strawberry Creek facility near Sturgeon Bay. « Strawberry Creek Salmon HarvestAt the end of the salmon run, DNR staff clean up the pond where the salmon were kept for harvesting, preparing it for winter. They determine the sex of the fish, measure and weigh it. This is part of the record keeping process that's been going on since the 1970s. The fish appeared heavier and in better condition than last year, and the average size of eggs increased considerably this year from last year. "That is another encouraging sign," Hansen says. Fisheries crews and volunteers at Strawberry Creek handled about 5,400 chinook over six harvest days this season, up from 2,014 last year, collecting about 2.3 million eggs to be hatched and reared at state hatcheries and stocked out next year in Lake Michigan.
