Description

The Lake Champlain Fisheries Research Program (LCFRP) is a competitive grant program on Lake Champlain, funded by the Great Lakes Fishery Commission (GLFC), to support research that (1) addresses basic or applied questions on fish ecology and/or fisheries on Lake Champlain and (2) is relevant to the Laurentian Great Lakes and/or other large lakes of the world. Lake Champlain is a large and heterogenous system comprising five regions that vary in trophic state, lake morphometry, and foodweb communities. As such, Lake Champlain has a natural, experimental gradient on which to address questions about fisheries, physical and chemical habitat, and food-web structure and function, and to address how systems may respond to multiple stressors (e.g., climate change, invasive species, land use) and fisheries management actions. Of particular interest is comparative work between Lake Champlain and the Great Lakes (or other large lakes) to better understand historical, restored, or changing conditions (e.g., habitat use, morphology, behavior, and dynamics) and a context within which to interpret contemporary patterns and processes across basins. 

Applicants can view GLFC fishery research themes to develop cross-basin questions.
