Several species of fish and mussels are disappearing from the Great Lakes, and a team of researchers at the University of Windsor is trying to find out why.
Those species include fish like the redside dace and spotted gar, and mussels, including the kidneyshell, northern riffle shell, and snuffbox.
Over four years, they will get $850,000 from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ Canada Nature Fund for Aquatic Species at Risk to investigate the loss of biodiversity in the lakes, pioneer breeding methods to save imperilled species and restore those ecosystems.
