Description
The fifth Sunfish Funded Project. Chaired by Rob Hayward
Objectives:
1. 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 identified in previous studies.
2. Evaluate grading strategies to enhance grow out in commercial systems to market size (³227 g), including the culture potential of discards.
