- Description:
- In this installment of "Western Michigan at work," Dr. Willis Dunbar discusses commercial fishing in Michigan and the effect of the invasive sea lampreys on the industry. According to Dunbar, sea lampreys have largely destroyed the population of lake trout in the Great Lakes and in the 1948 season the catch was down to 5,000 fish from the former average of 1.5 million. Dunbar also discusses the ongoing efforts to fight the lamprey problem and condemns state and national governments for not doing more before the problem became so severe.
