Yellow perch were not identified as a target species for this study; however, with their
introduction to the reservoir, they have become a species with a high potential for escapement. In
comparison with the other target species, yellow perch are not as piscivorous though they are
known to be dietary generalists and to eat smaller fish as adults and thus may pose a threat to
certain life stages of the endangered fishes (Knight et al. 1984; Graeb et al. 2005).
