Preliminary Evaluation Of Three Strains Of Largemouth Bass, Micropterus Salmoides (Lacepede), Stocked In Ponds In South Alabama
Seven ponds in South Alabama were stocked with Florida largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides jloridanus (Lesueur), seven with native largemouth bass, M. s. salmoides (Lacepede), and seven with F, bass. Samples of bass were collected one and two years after stocking to compare growth rates. Major objectives of this study were: to determine which of the three strains of bass grow faster and/or larger in Alabama ponds, to determine if jloridanus can be successfully introduced into an established fish population of a 1,000 acre lake, and to compare the effectiveness of the three strains of...
