THE white crappie, Pomoxis annularis Rafinesque, and the black
crappie, Pomoxis nigro-maculatus
(Le Sueur), are among the most characteristic and abundant fishes of the lakes and streams of Illinois. They are popular
with Illinois anglers and are generally
ranked with the better food fishes of the
state. Both species have been used extensively
for stocking artificial lakes of
various sizes. This paper is based largely on white
crappie studies carried on by the writer at
Lake Decatur, Macon County, Illinois,
during the period beginning in late November,
1935, and ending in early December,
1939. Most of the fish for the Lake
Decatur studies were caught in hoop nets
that were operated at 1- to 2-month intervals at all seasons of the year.
