Description
The fourth Sunfish Funded Project. Chaired by Bob Sheehan
Objectives:
1. Compare feeding trials for grow out of locally available 5.1-10.2 cm (2-4") black crappie and bluegill male x green sunfish female hybrids:
a. in ponds at dissimilar latitudes in the region, and
b. in recirculating systems using compensatory feeding strategies
2. Establish baseline physiological measures for small 2.5-7.6 cm (1-3") black crappie subjected to handling stressors and to test the effect of salt and temperature on stress reduction.
3. Update the sunfish culture manual that had been developed for sunfish produced in the North Central Region.
