History & Status of the Fishery
A temperature-dissolved oxygen profile was collected in the deepest basin on Pleasant Lake on August 14th, 2023 to evaluate the amount of cold, oxygenated water (i.e., oxythermal habitat) available to Cisco, also known as Tullibee. Based on the profile, the top of the thermocline (i.e., the location in the water column with the sharpest transition from warm to cold water) occurred at approximately 22 feet. Dissolved oxygen decreased to below 3.0 mg/L at 25.9 feet, which was within the thermocline, at the time of sampling. The temperature at which dissolved oxygen decreased to below 3.0 mg/L (i.e., TDO3, a single variable to characterize oxythermal habitat) was 14.1?C (57.4?F).
TDO3 values cooler than 21.5?C for Cisco indicate that oxythermal conditions are favorable for these species. Dissolved oxygen concentrations indicate that suitable oxythermal habitat for these species was available across a range of depths at the time of sampling. Data collected in 2021, 2002, 2005, 2012, and 2020 also indicated suitable oxythermal habitat. When adequate oxythermal habitat is available, Cisco are not squeezed into unfavorable, warmer water conditions and therefore do not experience higher levels of stress.
