(funded project 5)
Description
The fiifth Sunfish Funded Project. Chaired by Rob
Hayward
Objectives:
- Conduct field trials of bluegill and F1 hybrid sunfish
(female green sunfish x male bluegill) in commercial size
production facilities defined as ponds >0.04 ha and
indoor recycle systems in the upper and lower portions of
the North Central Region. A minimum of three
replicates will be used in all pond and recycle system
studies; commercial feeds to be used will be those
