<br />METHODS AND MATERIALS <br /> <br />Emphasis was placed on the most important game species in the <br />backwaters. These species included largemouth bass (Micropterus sal- <br />moides), blue gills (Lepomis macrochirus) I redear sunfish (Lepomis <br />microlophus) I and channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus). Fish were col- <br />lected monthly, from November 1971 through October 1972. From Novem- <br />ber to March, fish were captured using six IS-meter experimental gill <br />nets, each having square mesh measurements ranging from 0.6 to S. 0 <br />cm, and one 30-meter gill net with a single square mesh size of 3.8 cm. <br />During the remainder of the study, samples were collected by electo- <br />fishing, using an AC 4000-W I 33 amp, llS-V Kohler generator. All col- <br />lections were made at night. <br />
