This is tying into the carrying capacity/standing crop questions.

Is there any place on the internet that I can find out the number of fish of a given size and species that are in a pound?
i.e. there are "X" numbers of 2"-3" BG in a pound.

I was looking for the commonly stocked gamefish, panfish and baitfish.

Chapter 17 has a lot of info on fish-length/weight in pound units.

http://www.dnr.state.mi.us/publications/pdfs/IFR/ifrhome/Manual_intra.htm

May have to get out the calculator.
From table 17.2 a 2.5" BG weighs .0091 lbs.
1/.0091=109.89, so there would be approximately 110 2.5" BG per pound.

Skip all the stuff until where numbered page 5 begins. This is the start of table 17.2. The rest of it might give someone a headache.

I had a 3 day bug I just got over. Seems it's been going around here. I was the last one to get it. Glad it is over, get well soon \:\)

I would also be interested in the info you have, or anyone else has for that matter.

I would say what I caught but too graphic for this site. Im not from bathroom I will say that. Poor wyatt vomitting all nigh on sat you feel so helpless. I have actually taken care of a ton of business today Nate. i might just start staying home and work just from phone.

back on topic- here you go:

From Malone hatchery

Species Weight/1000 fish length (inches)
BG
small 4-17 1-3
medium 18-33 3-4
large 34-54 4-4.5
jumbo 55+ 4.5-6

res
small 2-15 1-3
medium 16-30 3-4
large 31-44 4-4.5
jumbo 45+ 4.5-6

black crappie- ironically same as res

from AL hatchery

6-8 inch channel cats- 65-80 lbs/1000
8-11 inch channel cats- 120-150 lbs/1000

hope this helps in your math. Ok gotta go. that typing worn me out.

Man, I hear you about that helpless feeling when your kids are sick...it's the WORST. Get well Greg...flu season is nearly over. I know my turn is around the corner.

How cool, I finally found a use for that avatar!

Greg:

You're excused you're sick. Are the weights/count reversed on the BG & RES?

I think it is over-thanks. It was intense but only about 24 hours of hell.

Stupid formatting. I had the table looking good but it got rid of spacing. Basiclly the first bg is
small-1-3 inches and weigh 4-17 lbs/1000fish and so forth. No esshup those are correct res weigh less than bg as little guys.

Yeah, sometimes transferring data isn't the easiest thing. (format wise)

Thanks Greg.
