Abstract
THIS REPORT is based on several
years of intensive studies of the production
and related population dynamics of
six kinds of warmwater fishes maintained
as single species in 1-acre ponds.
Species involved included the largemouth
bass, Micropteriis salmoides
(Lacepede); smallmouth bass, M. dolomieiii
Lacepede; bluegill, Lepomis macrochiriis
Rafinesque; yellow perch,
Perca flavescens (Mitchill); brown bullhead,
Ictahiriis uebulosus (LeSueur);
and the white crappie, Pomoxis annularis
Rafinesque. Most production data
published for these species have originated
primarily from studies involving
complex, multispecies populations. The principal aims of this investigation
were to 1 ) increase our knowledge
of the carrying capacities of ponds for
warmwater fishes, 2) consider the relationship of carrying capacity to standing
crop and to rate of production, and 3)
measure the influence of controlled population increases and decreases on fish
production.
