“…The volume of commercial harvest from infected waterbodies, combined with the apparent preference for emerald shiner as host, indicates that future commercial catches of infected emerald shiner from the lower Great Lakes may occur. While most angler movement of baitfish from infected retail localities would likely be to the Great Lakes proper, a subset of inland lakes also are likely to be visited, representing logical early detection surveillance targets (e.g., Lake Simcoe, Belwood Lake, and other high-ranking lakes in Drake and Mandrak, 2014a, Appendix H, Table H1). Surveillance of emerald shiner, bluntnose minnow, and other minnow species for S. acheilognathi at point of harvest or within retail facilities may be warranted, especially given the recent discovery of several additional infected bait species in Lake Huron (mimic shiner, Notropis volucellus, sand shiner, Notropis stramineus, spottail shiner, Notropis hudsonius, plus emerald shiner; Muzzall et al, 2016).…”
