Population Dynamics of the Green Sunfish Redear Sunfish Hybrid as Compared with Its Reciprocal Cross and Parental Species
Astudy was made on the growth and survival rates, sex ratios, and vulnerability to angling ofthe green sunfish redear sunfish ( (G X R) hybrid as compared with its reciprocal cross and parental species. The G x R hybrid had the highest mean annual absolute growth rate while the redear sunfish 0 X green sunfish C; (R x G) hybrid had the highest mean annual relative growth rate. The G x R hyhrid generally had the highest mean annual survival rate, while the green sunfish had the lowest. The sex ratios were: G x R hybrids. 99% males; R x G hybrids. 88% males; green sunfish. 83% males;...
