They are capable of having their environment and their communities severely altered only too easily. Unless further increases of eutrophication and exploitation are brought to a halt the lakes will be altered within the next three decades and their demise as producers of salmonid stocks may be irrevocable. Ryder and Johnson 1972 p. 948 Thus spoke the prophets 30 years ago. Were they correct Have oligotrophic lakes been seriously eroded by human-induced stress The anecdotal evidence is overwhelming indicating that lake trout Salvelinus namaycush populations in many lakes have been seriously degraded Evans and Willox 1991 Evans et al. 1991a 1991b 1996 . The extent of the damage however cannot be assessed objectively because the required data are not available. Much of our lake trout data come from case studies instigated in response to a perceived problem. Such data have enhanced our understanding of the stressors that impact lake trout but they are not very useful in addressing questions about the overall condition of the lake trout resource. What is the current state of the resource How many .
