Information: "The French, the first European visitors to the region, often referred to Lake Huron as La Mer Douce, ""the fresh-water sea"". In 1656, a map by French cartographer Nicolas Sanson, refers to the lake as Karegnondi, a Wendat word which has been variously translated as ""Freshwater Sea"", ""Lake of the Hurons"", or simply ""lake"". The lake was generally labelled ""Lac des Hurons"" (Lake of the Huron) on most early European maps."
  
  • Fishing
Lake Huron has suffered recently due the introduction of a variety of new invasive species, including zebra and quagga mussels, the spiny water flea, and round gobies. The deepwater demersal fish community of the lake was in a state of collapse by 2006, and a number of drastic changes have been observed in the zooplankton community of the lake. Chinook salmon catches have also been greatly reduced in recent years, and lake whitefish have become less abundant and are in poor condition. These recent changes may be attributable to the new exotic species.
