"Fisheries Management in an Ecosystem Context - Insights from Cornell's 50 Years of Studies on Oneida Lake"
Dr. Lars Rudstam
Director of the
Cornell University
Biological Field Station on
Oneida Lake
Fisheries are affected by ecosystems and as lakes change, so does their ability to support sport fisheries. Cornell University's field station on Oneida Lake has been supported for more than 50 years by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to study the dynamics of fish populations in the lake, in particular the walleye and yellow perch. This long term collaboration between an academic institution and a management agency has resulted in one of the best long term data sets available on a North American temperate lake. Analysis of this long term data coupled with focused field studies, experiments and models have led to insights on the importance of size based interactions, cascading trophic interactions, the egg bank, prey switching, avian predators, cannibalism, climate change, and ecosystem engineers like zebra mussels. I will discuss these results, offer predictions for future changes to the fisheries of Oneida Lake, and discuss similarities with current changes in Onondaga Lake.
