Lake Superior Fish Supply Declines Alarmingly
Marquette fishermen report rapid depletion of Lake Superior fish stocks. Since 1907 eight fishing tugs have gone out of commission, leaving four in operation in Michigan waters. Theora and Columbia operate Marquette, Emba and Endress at Grand Marais. Whitefish and lake trout landings have fallen, while jumbo whitefish fetch 18 to 25 cents a pound. Fishermen credit federal spawn collection and hatchery work, urging a Marquette hatchery amid limited Duluth and Sault Ste. Marie facilities.
