About
Marquette Biological Station was established by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1956 to support sea lamprey research, monitoring, and control efforts. The station works with state, tribal, and federal agencies to monitor progress toward fish community objectives in the Great Lakes. Its primary goal is to conduct ecologically sound and publicly acceptable integrated sea lamprey control to support the establishment of diverse and sustainable Great Lakes fish communities. This work is critical to the restoration of native species such as lake trout and lake sturgeon.
