Eight different studies with a variety of goals were conducted on juvenile suckers in Upper Klamath Lake between 2001 and 2015. Study one investigated juvenile sucker use of vegetated and un-vegetated shoreline habitats. Study two examined use of near-shore and off-shore habitat and examined summer-time age-0 sucker migration patterns along the eastern shore of Upper Klamath Lake. Study three was a quantitative estimation of age-0 and age-1 sucker habitat use in the Upper Klamath Lake system including Agency Lake and the restoration sites in the Williamson Delta. Study four examined summer-time juvenile sucker use of Hanks Marsh. Study five compared health and condition of suckers in Upper Klamath Lake and Clear Lake Reservoir in California. In 2015 a juvenile sucker monitoring project was implemented to track cohorts through time (Study six). Two studies focused on spring time distributions of suckers; study seven, a study on the spring-time distribution of age-1 suckers in 2007 and study eight, an effort to capture and tag age-1 suckers.
