Once the most abundant fish in these waters; a manna that allowed Champlain and then European settlers to overwinter and survive the harsh and new climate that they encountered in Ontario- this species has not been observed in these waters since 1984. Watch this telling video that recounts the story of its disappearance, speaks to the significance of its mass, and the lessons we can learn. Perhaps we can still entice this majestic wonder back to our land?
