The Fish of Lake Superior
The Fish of Lake Superior
Lake Superior is the coldest and deepest (1,332 feet) of the Great Lakes. Most of the area is heavily forested--and not heavily populated--with little agriculture because of a cool climate and poor soils. More than 60 species of fish have been recorded in Lake Superior.
See also Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, non-native species, or the complete listing. Note that not every species of fish found in the Great Lakes is included.
For current weather conditions, as reported by regional stations, see NOAA's Interactive Marine Observations site. For more weather and fishing information, see the Fishing page under Special Features on this site.
