Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus), green sunfish (Lepomis cyarzell~rs), largemouth bass (Micropterzrs salmoides), and longear sunfish (Lepomis megalotis) were sampled from 14 streams in southeastern Kansas for age determination and growth analysis. Growth rates for all species were highly variable among streams and were consistently lower than rates reported for these species from Missouri and Oklahoma streams. The results of this study provide important information on growth of centrarchids in Kansas streams.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
