Very unlikely, with the inherent fertility coming out of Lake Erie, it would take something fairly cataclysmic to crash our Alewife population the way Huron's did.

I agree Tim they are very different situations and Huron probably doesn't have the same environmental effects the other much larger lakes may have going for them. Some good info on the Great Lakes here...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Lakes

Ditto Tim.  Big-O is an entirely different eco-system.

The danger we face is UNDER predation-- not enough pelagic predators. This allows the Alewife to explode and stress its food source. In the meantime, they demolish perch, walleye, and laker hatches. The King Salmon is always the answer, the solution, and never the problem.
