The first Fish Health Funded Project. Chaired by Jeff Malison.
Objectives:
The overall goal is to minimize the risk of spreading VHS and other fish diseases into fish farms and wild waterways throughout the North Central Region (NCR). Specific objectives are:
1. Determine the safety and efficacy of iodine disinfection on walleye and northern pike eggs infected with VHS. Read more about Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia (VHS)
The first funded project for Hybrid Striped Bass. Chaired by Chris Kohler
Objectives:
1. Obtain and maintain (in captivity) populations of spawning size white bass and striped bass.
2. Define reproductive development in wild and captive white bass by characterizing seasonal changes in hormone titers and gonadal histology.

The fourth Hybrid Striped Bass Funded Project. Chaired by Chris Kohler
Objectives:
1. To develop intensive hatchery production techniques for white bass and to "domesticate" white bass by producing brood stock originating from induced spawns.
2. To perfect cryopreservation techniques for white bass/striped bass semen and to demonstrate feasibility of hybrid bass production using "stored" semen in industry-type setting.

The fifth Hybrid Striped Bass Project. Chaired by Chris Kohler
Objectives:
1. Examine fry (phase I) to fingerling (phase II) production of three strains of white bass and three strains of reciprocal-cross hybrid striped bass in ponds with and without lights and vibrating feeders.

The second nutrition funded project. Chaired by Robert Hayward.
Objectives:
1. Develop a least-cost diet for bluegill Lepomis macrochirus by:
(a) Evaluating amino acid availability of dietary ingredients for bluegills,
(b) Evaluating amino acid composition of bluegills,
(c) Evaluating limiting amino acid requirements of bluegills, and
(d) Making a least-cost diet formulation model available to the industry within a two-year period. Read more about Rapid Determination and Amino Acid Requirements of Lepomis Sunfish

A project on feed training carnivorous fish was initiated in September 2006. This project is chaired by Anita Kelly, Southern Illinois University-Carbondale.
The objectives of this project are:
1. Evaluate strategies including harvest, transport, environmental, and husbandry, to increase survival, growth, to maximize the percent of advanced yellow perch fingerlings trained to accept formulated feeds

The sixth Sunfish Funded Project. Chaired by Han-Ping Wang
Objectives:
1. Identify additional super-males and performance-selected females from existing populations.
2. Create all-male bluegill populations by crossing super-males with females of selected and non-selected stocks.
3. Rear Populations at two or more locations in the NCR.
4. Compare sex ratios and production characteristics of sub-populations as based on maternal stocks.
