Evaluation of a 23-cm (9-in) Minimum Length Limit for Black and White Crappies in Lake Alvin, South Dakota
… and Parks (SDGFP) implemented a 23-cm (9-in) minimum length limit for black Pomoxis nigromaculatus and white P. annularis crappies in 36-ha Lake Alvin , South Dakota beginning 1 January 1996. Both relative abundance [catch per unit effort (CPUE)] and size structure [e .g., proportional stock …

Evaluation of Current Management Strategies for the New River, Virginia, Muskellunge Fishery: Modeling the Effect of Alternative Harvest Regulations and Habitat Selection
… of the Wr index. Abundance of memorable-length (³1,070 mm) muskellunge was predicted to increase with minimum length limits of 914, 1,016, and 1,143 mm. Although yield per recruit would decline under a 1,143-mm minimum length limit, it was predicted to remain fairly stable at length …

Managing Muskellunge in the New River, Virginia: Effective Regulations and Predation on Smallmouth Bass
… Virginia. Following the institution of a 42-in minimum-length limit (MLL) on Muskellunge, bass anglers feared that increased Muskellunge abundance might be negatively affecting Smallmouth Bass via increased predation. In order to ascertain the impacts of the 42-in MLL, I estimated the …

Status of Paddlefish in Lake Francis Case, South Dakota
… % exploitation under simulated 660-mm and 840-mm minimum length regulations. Concomitantly, only 16 % of broodstock was lost under a simulated 1016-mm minimum length limit at 5 % exploitation. These results suggest that this population could support a limited sport fishery (< 5 % exploitation) …

Ecology of Fish Communities in Nebraska Sandhill Lakes
… Nebraska Sandhill lakes presumably have limited exploitation. Creel survey data for Pelican and Hackberry lakes (Cherry County) suggested that bluegill exploitation was <10%. However, one unexploited yellow perch population in a privately owned water body exhibited high condition, fast …

Population Dynamics of Sheepshead (<i>Archosargus probatocephalus;</i> Walbaum 1792) in the Chesapeake Bay Region: A comparison to Other Areas and an Assessment of Their Current Status
… years of age, corresponding to a 483 mm (19 in) minimum length limit, resulting in a maximum YPR of between 1.2 to 1.7 kg. This time of recruitment to the fishery and potential maximum YPR is 2–5 years older and 0.6–1.5 kg greater than suggested when we use age and growth data from other regions …
