    I am so happy to have FWS as a federal organization. Without them, millions of Americans would be without knowledge and access to our wonderful wildlife.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mahi-mahi (Dolphinfish)
Q: What are some of the questions you're trying to answer with these tags?
We're trying to figure out why the population of mahi is declining and to better understand their growth, age, and migration patterns.
Mahi-mahi (Dolphinfish)
Q: How would an angler go about trying to target a fish like a mahi mahi?
They can catch Mahi from shore in certain locations, but generally, you have to be offshore in deep water using techniques like pole and troll or spearfishing.
Lake Sturgeon: Michigan's Story
Q: What kind of results have you seen from the stocking efforts?
The stocking efforts have shown promising results with fish returning to rivers, though natural reproduction is still to be established as it takes females a long time to mature.
Lake Sturgeon: Michigan's Story
Q: What is the history of this fish in Michigan? What is the state's interest in this fish?
Lake Sturgeon populations were once incredibly abundant before European settlement, but historical overharvesting and habitat loss have reduced their numbers to less than 1% of their original population.
Lake Sturgeon: Michigan's Story
Q: What kind of habitats are needed for Lake Sturgeon throughout their life history?
Lake Sturgeon require relatively shallow water with soft bottom sediments for feeding, and they need large rivers with swift moving water and hard substrates for spawning.
