Age, Growth, and Genetic Structure of Black and White Crappie Populations in a New Oklahoma Reservoir
Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study the genetic stIUcture of founding populations of black and white crappie in a new Oklahoma. reservoir. Additional objectives were incorporated into the study in order to examine the relationships between age, growth, and foraging strategies in founding crappie populations. The creation of Copan lake was a serendipitous event, and it was hoped that this study would provide baseline data for future research as well as new insight on reservoir crappie problems. Funding was made available through the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. In addition, computer funds were provided by the Oklahoma State University Zoology Department.
