Salmonids have the potential to alter the energy and nutrient cycles of the Great Lakes system through increased energy transfer between open water and streams/tributaries. This energy transfer includes the addition of nitrogen and phosphorous to tributaries through decaying salmonine carcasses, as well as the addition of salmon eggs and dead fish as a food source in streams.
