Research Notes

The Stream Fish Population Trend Viewer was developed to serve as a simple, centralized location for users to get up-to-date information on regional and local fish trends. The map-based displays were designed to be interactive, allowing users to pick the fish species they want to view, instead of going through biologists at the MDNR Fisheries Division.

Dr. Riseng worked with a team to develop the Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat Framework, a database used to classify habitats for different species within the Great Lakes basin. It is currently in its last year, with plans to maintain the database going forward.
