  Invasion of Mackinaw trout into Yellowstone Lake   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Based on the increasing numbers of lake trout being pulled from the lake each year (1995 there were approximately 20 pulled all year, 1996 there were 40 pulled in the 1st two weeks of the fishing season) it has become clear that the lake trout have taken a hold in the lake.
Lake trout have apparently grown the fastest in the west thumb of the lake, perhaps because of the enriched nutrients supplied by the active geothermal activity in that part of the lake.
One solution to target the lake trout would be to stir up the sediment of the bottom of the lake where lake trout lay their eggs (cutthroat lay their eggs in the stream and river beds.) By covering the eggs with a fine layer of sediment, the lake trout would be unable to hatch.

 Bob Smith: Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
While we were encamped on the northeast side of the lake [Yellowstone Lake] on the night of the 20th of July [1871], we experienced several severe shocks of an earthquake, and these were felt by two other parties, fifteen to twenty-five miles distant, on different sides of the lake.
The geophysical evidence suggests that earthquakes of Yellowstone are influenced by the presence of magmas, partial melts, and hydrothermal activity at crustal depths from near surface to depths of ~5 km.
A caldera-wide 15% decrease from regional P velocities at depths of 6 km to 12 km is coincident with a 60 mGal negative gravity anomaly and is interpreted as a hot, subsolidus, granitic batholith with a quasi-plastic rheology.
