The Great Lakes that border the United States’ northeast corner and Canada are the largest collection of freshwater lakes on Earth and hold 21% of the world’s surface fresh water. Protecting the delicate ecological balance in Lakes Superior, Ontario, Michigan, Huron and Erie is the job of the United States Department of the Interior’s US Geological Survey Center (USGS) and its Great Lakes Science Center. The USGS chose MTU diesel engines to power its two newest scientific research vessels, the Kaho and the Muskie. They are fifty-pound aquatic aliens, labeled the “locusts of the river,” and can terrorize any ecosystem they invade. They have been called “living missiles” because of their habit of launching themselves out of the water when startled, often right into the path of unwary boaters, 32 I MTU Report 01/12
Marine The United States Department of the Interior’s US Geological Survey Center (USGS) and its Great Lakes Science Center help protect the US Great Lakes from invasive species like these Asian Carp. water skiers and fisherman. They can severely deplete the food supply of any freshwater waterway they inhabit by feeding on the plankton essential to sustaining native fish populations. They are the infamous Asian carp. The species was originally imported from China and Southeast Asia to consume algae in US catfish ponds. In the decades since their arrival, however, they have been voraciously eating and reproducing their way up the Mississippi River on their way to the Great Lakes. If the carp reach the Lakes, the invasive species might threaten a $7 billion fishing industry and substantial tourist revenue. If the unwelcome fish do arrive, the researchers at the Great Lakes Science Center (GLSC, Ann Arbor, Michigan) will be among the first to detect their presence. In fact, although photos of schools of leaping carp have attracted a lot of media attention lately, GLSC has quietly played a vital role in protecting and preserving the Great Lakes’ ecosystem and biodiversity for almost a century. It’s a mission as broad and deep as the Lakes themselves; accomplishing it is expected to get a bit easier soon, thanks to two new MTU powered high-speed research vessels. Bigger, faster and smarter Christened last August, R/V Kaho and R/V Muskie were purchased by the USGS for the GLSC at a combined cost of $8.2 million, replacing two smaller, older vessels of the same names that were operating in Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, respectively. According to GLSC Director Russell Strach, “The R/V Muskie and R/V Kaho will provide safe and reliable platforms for scientists, and are equipped with state-of-the-art scientific instrumentation to improve our understanding of deep-water ecosystems and fishes in lakes Erie and Ontario.” Kaho and Muskie are multi-purpose vessels equipped with wet laboratories and sophisticated sampling, fish detection and analysis gear. This onboard equipment can collect, analyze, monitor and communicate critical information about fishery, aquatic and coastal resources. Designed by Murray & Associates (Fort Lauderdale, Florida) and built in Cleveland, Ohio by Great Lakes Shipyard under construction supervision by Alion Science and Technology (McLean, Virginia), the new boats are powered by twin MTU Series 2000 M72 8V Tier 2 engines rated at 965 bhp at 2,250 rpm. According to Don Barnhart, OEM Application Support at MTU distributor W.W. Williams (Cleveland, Ohio), Kaho and Muskie feature several unique characteristics for USGS vessels. MTU Report 01/12 I 33
