The closest all sports lake to me has these exact conditions plus tons of stunted crappie. Hopefully you can expand into MI once the paperwork hassles get sorted out and some education about your research and findings can find its way to the MI environmental biology folks.


The SAE are NOT "genetically altered" fish, they are a hybrid just like a hybrid bluegill is a cross between a green sunfish and a northern bluegill.
