Downeast Trout Unlimited will host “The Lake Whitefish Project” and Magic on the River, during its January meeting, Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021, via Zoom.
Dylan Whitaker, a fisheries research technician for IFW, will present The Lake Whitefish Project. A Maine native who has worked on salmonid fisheries management across the country, Whitaker returned to Maine in 2018 to lead the research.
Lake whitefish, a popular sport fish native to Maine, are designated as a Special Concern Species by Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. Research has helped to identify the factors that contributed to their decline, however, there’s still a lot to learn, and that’s where the public can help, according to Trout, in a news release. Whitaker will outline their biology and explain how residents can participate in a citizen science project.
