Proposal summary:
Outdoor pond culture of yellow perch and sunfish will have to deal with the presence and infestation of parasites including yellow grub and black spot. This study will test the hypothesis that flow through pond side tanks can reduce or eliminate potential parasitic infestations from occurring even if the makeup water is already infested with the parasites.
