Population Characteristics of Yellow Perch in Dead Lake, Florida

Abstract: In Florida, the Yellow Perch Perca flavescens is known to exist only in the Apalachicola River watershed. We conducted a 2-y study (2015–2016) to assess population characteristics of Yellow Perch in Dead Lake, Florida. We also measured summertime (June–September 2016) water temperatures to identify temperature differences between two sections (West Arm Creek and the main pool) of Dead Lake. Using electrofishing, we collected 564 Yellow Perch ranging from 72 to 343 mm total length from West Arm Creek. An age sa… Show more

“…Across the Great Lakes region, Yellow Perch typically spawn when water temperature is between 6 and 13°C (Hart et al, 2006; Hokanson, 1977; Krieger et al, 1983; Starzynski & Lauer, 2015). However, overwinter temperatures at the southern extent of the Yellow Perch range in North America seldom fall below this 10°C threshold during winter (Bisping et al, 2019), indicating there may be local adaptations that allow for reproductive development to occur during warmer winter temperatures at these lower latitudes.…”
