Listen to Dan Yule (USGS) talk about the comprehensive sampling strategies implored during 2022 that led to finding a historic year class of coregonids in Lake Superior. Novel genomic analyses were used to identify larval and age-0 coregonids, overcoming longstanding difficulties delineating this taxonomically challenging species flock. This unrivaled data set could lead to a profound paradigm shift in our understanding of Great Lakes coregonids.
