It is an excellent game and food fish in southern reservoirs *2571, 2575,1322,2121,2128*. Stock pond with forage fish to improve growth *1178*. Adult populations in most of Missouri's large reservoirs show symptoms of over exploitation. Experimental crappie regulations of the 10 size limit and reduced daily creel from 30 to 10 fish at the James River Arm at Table Rock Lake has increased the survival of age I and II fish and caused a subsequent harvest of larger crappie *6192*. Crawley in OKlahoma, believes the cause of stunting is undernourishment. When fish population can't be properly harvested through fishing and the action of predators, he suggests poisoning fish in selected areas of the lake *5561*. The authors of a study at Pony Express Lake Missouri feel that overcrowding and stunting can be controlled in part by high fishing pressure and a large population of predator bass *6251*.
