In Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, wild brook trout that exhibit coasting behavior without attaining the large sizes historically associated with coasters are being studied. Data suggests that initiation of coasting may not be linked to juvenile growth-at-age parameters and that other environmental issues may be important in determining the life history strategy adopted.
