100% Great Lakes Fish
The project’s goal is to demonstrate how 100% of commercially-caught fish from the Great Lakes can be used for different purposes and beyond just food. The initial focus is on whitefish followed by other Great Lakes fish such as yellow perch, walleye, lake trout and white sucker. A 100% Great Lakes fish strategy holds tremendous promise for the Great Lakes St. Lawrence region to more completely utilize caught fish, drive greater economic returns, create jobs and help develop rural economies.
