Notes
Park Species Detail: Recorded in Lake Michigan. Researchers (Scroppo 2000) state that whitefish in Lake Michigan are becoming smaller/malnourished because of changes in the food web as a native benthic organism (Diporeia ssp.) competes with exotic zebra mussels for its food (algae)., Park Species Data Source: Kelly, T.
