Did You Know? (CT bass management)
Message:
"In the Spring of 2013 DEEP Inland Fisheries embarked on an exciting new bass research program in cooperation with the UConn Natural Resource Department. New research indicates that fishing causes genetic changes in fish populations by removing the boldest, most aggressive and active, and fastest growing bass (because they are the easiest to catch). This causes the remaining bass to be less active predators, which hampers their ability to control overabundant forage fish species, as well as making them harder to catch by angling. It may be possible to re-introduce desirable genes from “natural” bass populations to public lakes by stocking bass from unfished water supply reservoirs. This program is investigating the feasibility of this cutting edge management strategy."
