Fish of the Great Lakes Region — in the Eastern United States and Eastern Canada regions of North America. Fish species that are native to the Great Lakes and their direct tributaries . For non-native and/or invasive species of fish, see: Category: Invasive animal species in North America .
Lake whitefish are found throughout much of Canada and parts of the northern United States, including all of the Great Lakes. The lake whitefish is sometimes referred to as a "humpback" fish due to the small size of the head in relation to the length of the body. [3] [a] It is a valuable commercial fish, and also occasionally taken by sport ...
Salmon populations have been established in all the Great Lakes. Coho stocks were planted by the state of Michigan in the late 1960s to control the growing population of non-native alewife. Now Chinook (king), Atlantic, and coho (silver) salmon are annually stocked in all Great Lakes by most bordering states and provinces.

Westslope cutthroat trout. There are at least 31 game and 59 non-game fish species known to occur in Montana. [1] Among Montana's fish, three are listed as endangered or threatened species and the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks lists a number of species as species of concern.
The European cisco has also evolved into ecologically distinct sympatric populations or ecomorphs independently within several lakes (e.g. autumn and spring spawning populations, normal and dwarf morphs), which have been designated as distinct taxa, making the systematics complicated as with the North American Coregonus artedi complex.
A native Great Lakes whitefish thought extinct for nearly 40 years has been rediscovered by scientists – in the wrong Great Lake. The Shortnose Cisco was once abundant on the Great Lakes, but ...
For a time, alewife, which often exhibit seasonal die-offs, washed up in windrows on the shorelines of the Great Lakes. Various species of Pacific salmon (first coho, and later the Chinook salmon) were introduced as predators. Though marginally successful, this led to the development of a salmon/alewife fishery popular with many sport anglers.
