Impact DescriptionIn the Great Lakes and connecting tributaries, Aeromonas salmonicida has had a larger impact on native salmonids than on introduced salmonids. It particularly affects Atlantic salmon, brook char or trout, lake char, grayling, and lake whitefish. It secondarily affects other native non-salmonid species such as northern pike, yellow perch, dace and minnows (Family Cyprinidae), catfish (Family Ictaluridae), sticklebacks (Family Gasterosteidae), and sculpins (Family Cottidae).
