Status and Needs of Largemouth Bass Culture in the North Central Region

The Board in the June 1999 meeting directed that an updateable white paper be written on largemouth bass.  The white paper, Status and Needs of Largemouth Bass Culture in the North Central Region, is not an exhaustive literature review, but a working document that defines the current status of largemouth bass culture including the critical factors limiting the economic production in order to make recommendations for future research.  Industry participation and peer reviews are critical components for the evolution of this document.
