Yes and I forgot to add probly one of the most important things that I have studied about the Great Lakes. Since I was a kid I listened to many old fisherman who said that they had cought many large creatures that did not belong to Lake Michigan they said some were to big for the boat, one man said said he cut the line on one because it was so scary looking, he said it was like a fish but it had huge white bulbs or bubbles on it that sucked in and out of its skin...also(snapped lines are just a regular part of fishing when on Lake Michigan) Some say that they had reported the creatures to the local DNR offices and never heard a word of it again.Creatures have been found in Lake Michigan that have not even been found in the see. Though I understand that freighters sometimes release ballas water that came from the ocean(which is HIGHLY ILLEGAL)...it lead to the break out of creatures such as the Zebra Muscle which has devestated the vegetation in the lakes, and also a few different types of Goby fish(horrible little bastards that eat hatchling fish and depleated a large portion of the walleye population). ..Lets face it the DNR is opperated by the Government...but it still why should they be so hush hush?
