Abstract
In November 1981, we observed intense predation on lake whitefish ( Coregonus clupeaformis) eggs by longnose suckers ( Catostomus catostomus) on lake whitefish spawning grounds in northwestern Lake Huron. Since longnose suckers commonly frequent the same habitat used by spawning lake whitefish, there exists the potential for high losses of eggs due to sucker predation.
