by John Wilson Parsons

1973

This history of the salmon in the Great Lakes describes the decline and extinction of the Atlantic salmon in Lake Ontario in the 1800's; the failure to establish, by salmon culture, permanent or sizable populations of Atlantic or Pacific salmon in any of the Great Lakes in 1867-1965; and the success of plantings of coho and chinook salmon in the Great Lakes, 1966-1970 -- particularly in Lake Michigan.

by John F. Carr, James William Moffett, John E. Gannon

1973

The thermal regime of Lake Michigan is described on the basis of analysis of 1,671 bathythermograph casts made in 1954 and 1955. The beginning, duration, and geographic extent, and ending of thermal stratification were determined from 51 thermal profiles from all areas of the open lake.
