Abstract
An internal seiche in Georgian Bay, Lake Huron, altered water temperatures and transparency in Little Dunks Bay (a small shallow bay). A sudden decrease in temperature was the probable cause of mortalities in sculpins (Cottus bairdi) and crayfish (Orconectes propinquus) as well as of marked changes in behavior of other fish species. Trout-perch (Percopsis omiscomaycus) appeared unaffected.Keywords
