Table 3 Arrival dates for Walleye, Lake Trout, and Cormorants at eight coastal sites in the Michigan waters of Lake Huron as determined by telemetry (2011–2014 for Walleye and Lake Trout and 2008–2009 for Cormorants). Cormorant arrival date is back calculated from mean arrival date on breeding grounds in northern Lake Huron by applying migration rates from King et al. [42]. The median dates are included within species.
