Abstract:We examined evidence for density‐dependent growth of Largemouth Bass Micropterus salmoides in the recruited life stage (age 2 and older) at eight large (>4,000 ha) Alabama reservoirs from standardized electrofishing survey data. Using mean length at age as a measure of cumulative growth and electrofishing catch rates as the basis for a cumulative index of density, we found weak support for the hypothesis that mean length at age was inversely related to Largemouth Bass density. The mean length at age of age‐5 L… Show more
