La construcció de preses és el seu principal problema per facilitar la seua recuperació als Grans Llacs. A més, les àrees de posta i cria poden veure's afectades per l'erosió, la sedimentació i els abocaments contaminants. Altres raons de preocupació als Grans Llacs són la canalització dels rierols, la sobrepesca o la captura il·legal, el desinterès de les administracions públiques i els efectes adversos dels lampricides.[37]
