Variation in Growth of Bluegill Attributed to Differential Stocking Rates of Adult Fish in Largemouth Bass-Bluegill Combinations
The growth of bluegill is compared from four Alabama farm ponds where two ponds were stocked with adult bass and bluegill and two were stocked with adult bass and fingerling bluegill. Results from fishing records show that the stocking rate of adult bass plus fingerling bluegill produces larger than average bluegill the first year after stocking.
