We recommend that hybrid crappies be used only on an experimental basis pending a more thorough evaluation of the incidence and effects of backcrossing with parent species.
I would like to hear Todd Overton's thoughts since he is a well respected
PondBoss sponsor and selling Hybrid Crappie stating "
spawning potential of
hybrid crappie is greatly reduced compared to that of their white and black
crappie counterparts, so they are a better option for small waters.
Suggested stocking rate is 100-150 per surface acre".
