lake whitefish

The lake has been fished commercially for lake whitefish since about 1948.

Another notable feature of the lake whitefish is the presence of two small flaps in each nostril.

The tail fin of the lake whitefish is severely forked, making it a fast swimmer.

On average, the lake whitefish weighs only 4 pounds.

The lake whitefish's natural predators include burbot, lake trout, and northern pike.

A major threat to the lake whitefish is an invasive parasite species, the sea lamprey.

The prime commercial species is the tasty lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis).

The price for lake whitefish dropped from $1.04/lb.

Northern pike, walleye, suckers and lake whitefish are among the most common larger fish.

Two species have been the focus of the stocking program in an effort to bolster their populations: walleye and lake whitefish.
