Hybrid Sunfish Bass Hybrid Population Study
Illinois Natural History Survey researchers led by Dr. G W Bennett and Dr W F Childers report on a one acre Gibson City pond stocked in 1958 with red ear sunfish and green sunfish to produce hybrid fry and eventual bass increases. By 1969 the bass yield per acre reached 417 pounds while hybrid sunfish dwindled, highlighting a promising stocking method for Central Illinois and opening new avenues for hybrid fish research.
