Growth, life history, and species interactions of bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) under heavy predation
- Univ. of Georgia, Athens, GA (United States)
The purpose of this study was, first, to compare growth and life history characteristics of an unfished population of bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) in the presence of an abundant predator population to characteristic exhibited by bluegills in typical southeastern US reservoirs where the abundance of predators is reduced, but fishing is increased. The second objective was to determine if differences observed between populations were determined genetically or environmentally.
