In his study Beehen (1948) found e legal largeeouth bass in kichiaan (ten inches or twenty-five centimeters) to be four summers old. The fish in the (resent study attained this length shortly after the {creation of the second annulus. This illustrates the superior growth rate for fish from fiintergreen Lake.

Kalanasoo county. Michigan is a eutrophic lake rich in.nntrients as evidenced by the abundance of cladooerens and other small crustacea. and a heavy phytOplaz-Jcton blooa. The growth rate of the largencuth base in this lake. as revealed by the present study. was found to be greater than that of comparable fish in Hichigan. The rapid growth of these fish may be accounted for. in part. by the abundance of forage fish. The collection of data was from January 1961 through August 19:1; of this period. the month of greatest increment iu.5rowth is January. while the month or aaxinua lengths and weights for any age grOUP is April. A quantitative methoc for determination of time of annulus formation is presented. based on age group II collection for April having maximum weights and lengths. while the Hay collection. which includes the period of annulus formation. has minimu- weishts and lengths. The graphs (figures 6 and 7) of the calculated lengths (as given.in table 16) show the “classic” growth pattern: a very rapid rate during the early years of life. with a gradullli dOOPOOlins ”I‘0 83 the G60 increases. In general. the growth rate as revealed by this study exceeds that of cOMparabie fish for the early years (until the fourth annulus). while the others have a more rapid growth for the older ages. Reduced acrtality (due to limited fishing) among the older age groups would result in greater competition; this may explain their sharp decline in growth rate. Even though the growth rate of the older age groups in.tnis study is less. the total lengths and weights remain larger than for coaparable Hichigan fish. due to the very rapid growth of younger age groups.
