This paper was originally developed by Patrick Hanchin and Tim Cwalinski, Co-chairs of the Fisheries Division’s Walleye Committee. Technical advice and detail have been provided by Dr. Mohamed Faisal, Michigan State University – Aquatic Animal Health Laboratory and Martha Wolgamood, Supervisor of the Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery and Statewide Fish Health Coordinator. The paper has been updated and edited by Gary Whelan, Manager of the Fish Production Program for Fisheries Division.
Snippet: Other Coolwater Species of Fish – As in 2010, there will be no production of northern pike in 2011 since there is no information about effects of VHSv on this species. Muskellunge rearing will continue at levels similar to 2010. We will also begin the development of a Great Lakes (spotted) muskellunge broodstock using strict biosecurity measures. Since lake sturgeon are likely immune to VHSv, there will be no limitations on production. All other brood stocks of coolwater species will continue to be tested for VHSv as in 2010, and all fish produced will be inspected for fish pathogens including VHSv.
