Piscivory by Lake Superior lake herring (Coregonis artedi) on Rainbow smelt (Osmerus moradax) in winter, 1993-1995

The stomach contents of 31 lake herring ( Coregonus artedi ), captured by anglers from western Lake Superior in the winters of 1993–1995, were examined to determine if predation on rainbow smelt ( Osmerus mordax ) was occurring as indicated by anglers. Twenty-six (84%) of the stomachs contained rainbow smelt, with an average of 7.0 rainbow smelt/stomach. This was the first documentation of piscivory by lake herring on rainbow smelt in the Great Lakes.
