Lakes herring and to development a self-sustaining fishery
that provides an economic base for the Native American

for developing high quality Great lakes herring products
exists, and consumer acceptance of these products is high.
Test marketing of the herring products to consumers and
the food industry revealed a strong interest in the distribution
