Key Messages Invasive and introduced fish species highlight tensions between systemic and jurisdictional visions of the Great Lakes during the 20th century. Different jurisdictions shared the Great Lakes and acknowledged its status as a single biological and hydrological system, yet often took divergent approaches to managing their fisheries. Alewife and splake demonstrate how Ontario and Michigan differed in their respective approaches to fisheries management on Lake Huron.
