Upsetting the Natural Balance in Lake Michigan

"On the surface, Lake Michigan is one of the world's biggest and wildest bodies of freshwater and a popular fishing destination. But under the surface, the lake has been engineered by humans into a system focused on producing maximum numbers of sport fish, most of which aren't native to its waters. Each year, the state Department of Natural Resources plants about 13 million exotic salmon and trout, according to a report in Sunday editions of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel." - excerpt from the article at http://www.enn.com/today.html?id=591
