摘要:
The growth of black crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus) and of white crappie (P. annularis) before a new forage fish, the Mississippi silverside (Menidia audens), became established in Clear Lake, California, was compared to their growth after the silverside had become established. Following the establishment of the silverside, growth rates of both species were slower than the presilverside growth rates for the first two years of life, and were apparently faster beyond year II. No correlation was found between changes in climatological conditions and crappie growth patterns. The overall impact of the silverside on the crappie fishery in Clear Lake may be negative if increased juvenile mortality rates result from the smaller sizes observed at the younger age classes.
