Comments on Management Practices
They are often dominant predator in large habitats. Heavy exploitation is used to control populations *1140,1115,3295,2128,3296,3301,3312,3314, 3315*. One of the most important game fishes in reservoirs *3297,3308*. In a Tennessee reservoir, the recreational benefits of stocking white bass X striped bass hybrids surpassed the stocking cost *5559*. Main- taining constant water levels during spawning so eggs aren't exposed is beneficial *3297*. Vigorous white bass populations have been more closely related to abundant forage fish populations than any other variable (threadfin shad are preferred forage fish) *PML 82*.
