Fish Fry Day Video: White Suckers Can’t Go Home Again

You can’t go home again. While the sentiment means something a bit more figurative to those of us who traveled for the Holidays, for Great Lakes fishes the statement is all too literal. In fact, there are more than 275,000 reasons a fish might not make it “home.”

This amazing animation is from our new Fish On The Run website and was produced by Ellen Hamann. We look forward to more great content about our Great Lakes fishes in 2015, and hope to tell not just the story of an unlucky white sucker, but also how CFL researchers are helping get fish moving again.
