Abstract:Fish stocking continues to be an important and often‐used tool in fisheries management. Mortality of fish may be high in the first few days after stocking due to predation and a lack of appropriate food and habitat. The objective of this study was to develop a conceptual model that may identify stocking locations that can help improve the survival of stocked fish. We identified three factors—predator risk, zooplankton (food) availability and measures of habitat that could be important to the survival of stocke… Show more
