Researchers head to Superior Maximus to investigate ‘zombie’ fish

The unusually thin siscowet lake trout will be tested by fish pathologists

Department of Natural Resources research vessel Lake Char monitors Michigan’s portion of Lake Superior.This month, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and fish pathologists from Michigan State University will make an expedition aboard the RV Lake Char to Superior Maximus, the deepest point of Lake Superior. The reason for this research vessel’s foray to the deep? To investigate the emaciated siscowet lake trout found in this Great Lake.

These fish, nicknamed “zombies” because of their thin and undernourished bodies, have increased in number in deep waters, sparking concern and interest from the public and scientists alike.

Lake trout in this zombie-like condition were discovered by a DNR fisheries research team during recent Lake Superior deepwater surveys of siscowet lake trout. During the upcoming research expedition, the crew plans to investigate — and, they hope, rule out — the possibility of a fish pathogen causing the highly emaciated appearance of these lake trout. They also plan to collect more of these fish for thorough testing.
An emaciated “zombie” siscowet lake trout captured near the deepest point of Lake Superior compared to a typical siscowet.Unlike the zombies of movies and television, “zombie” fish aren’t thought to have a contagious disease that they are spreading by biting other fish. Rather, their condition is believed to be a natural ecological phenomenon due to a lack of food in the deep waters in which they live. These extreme waters are prone to ecosystem shifts such as low food availability. Read more

Stealth Cam’s Next Evolution in Cellular Trail Camera Technology is Now Available Online and at Select Retailers Nationwide

Leave a comment

First announced in January, Stealth Cam’s upgraded Deceptor MAX 3.0 Cellular Trail Camera is now available for purchase online and through select retailers nationwide.

The new 3.0 version from Stealth Cam, the leader in cellular trail camera technology for over two decades, introduces a range of advanced technologies that elevate image capture, connectivity, and overall reliability in the field—all seamlessly controlled through the Command app for a simpler, more intuitive user experience.

Now featuring a variety of performance upgrades designed to help hunters and wildlife managers monitor properties more confidently and efficiently, the Deceptor MAX 3.0 delivers onboard camera AI capabilities, including:

    • AI-powered false image detection, a breakthrough onboard system that automatically filters out irrelevant motion events, ensuring hunters only get photos that matter.
    • PIR zone selection, which lets users define exactly how and where motion should trigger a capture in the camera’s frame, dramatically improving precision and reducing unnecessary transmissions.
    • Rack Alert, a tool capable of detecting when a buck enters the frame. When enabled, the camera automatically takes three images of the buck with each trigger and reverts to a 5-second PIR delay and instant upload setting. Only the single best photo of the triggered event is saved; the other two are discarded. Users then receive a “Rack Alert” notification indicating a buck is actively moving through their trail camera location.

Conservation officers rescue capsized Ohio kayakers in southern Lake Huron

Leave a comment

June 4, 2026
Contact: Acting 1st Lt. Robert Hobkirk, 989-225-8361

Two Ohio vacationers were rescued from Lake Huron after their kayaks capsized approximately 1 mile offshore of southern Sanilac County and northern St. Clair County Thursday around 10:30 a.m.

Michigan Department of Natural Resources Conservation Officers Chris Kravitsky and Mark Siemen were patrolling about a mile offshore when they observed an overturned kayak. Further out, they saw two people clinging to one kayak.

The water was 25 feet deep and 43 degrees Fahrenheit.

The husband, 32 and wife, 36, visitors from Westerville, Ohio, had been kayaking while staying at a lakeside vacation home. Neither was wearing a life jacket.

According to the couple, increasing offshore winds began pushing them farther from shore, causing them to panic. The wife’s kayak overturned first, and when her husband attempted to assist, both kayaks capsized, leaving them stranded.

The husband was suffering from cold exposure and was highly distressed. The wife had sustained a significant cut to her foot and, due to a recent surgery on her right arm, required special care removing her from the water. Officers provided first aid for the wife’s foot while on the patrol boat before returning to shore. The couple refused additional medical treatment.

The officers were able to drain and secure the kayaks on their patrol boat.

The couple estimated they had been in the water for approximately an hour, though rescuers believe the actual time was closer to 20 to 30 minutes. Read more
