Objectives: Read more about Evaluate Phase II Production of Bluegill Sunfish
A project on feed training carnivorous fish was initiated in September 2006. This project is chaired by Anita Kelly, Southern Illinois University-Carbondale.
The objectives of this project are:
1. Evaluate strategies including harvest, transport, environmental, and husbandry, to increase survival, growth, to maximize the percent of advanced yellow perch fingerlings trained to accept formulated feeds
The first Nutrition Funded Project. Chaired by Paul Brown
Objectives:
Participants:
The second nutrition funded project. Chaired by Robert Hayward.
Objectives:
1. Develop a least-cost diet for bluegill Lepomis macrochirus by:
(a) Evaluating amino acid availability of dietary ingredients for bluegills,
(b) Evaluating amino acid composition of bluegills,
(c) Evaluating limiting amino acid requirements of bluegills, and
(d) Making a least-cost diet formulation model available to the industry within a two-year period. Read more about Rapid Determination and Amino Acid Requirements of Lepomis Sunfish
The third nutrition funded project. Chaired by Robert Hayward.
Objectives:
Conduct a full literature search on amino acid composition, amino acid requirements, and feed formulations for yellow perch and Nile tilapia.
Evaluate body amino acid composition of yellow perch and Nile tilapia.

The third Sunfish Funded Project. Chaired by Don Garling
Objectives:
1. Produce a production manual, accompanying videos and other information as necessary to demonstrate the technology for culturing centrarchids.
2. Determine the major nutritional requirements for centrarchids and to compare their growth and performance using available commercial feeds in laboratory and field settings.

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
(funded project 5)
The fifth Sunfish Funded Project. Chaired by Rob Hayward
Objectives:
The sixth Sunfish Funded Project. Chaired by Han-Ping Wang
Objectives:
1. Identify additional super-males and performance-selected females from existing populations.
2. Create all-male bluegill populations by crossing super-males with females of selected and non-selected stocks.
3. Rear Populations at two or more locations in the NCR.
4. Compare sex ratios and production characteristics of sub-populations as based on maternal stocks.
Participants: Read more about Developing Genetically Fast-Growing Monosex Male Populations in Bluegill
