Information gathered during the three-year study will help MDC design regulations that produce more big fish.
MDC biologists recently began the second year of a blue catfish study at Truman Lake and Lake of the Ozarks as regulations are considered to protect intermediate-sized fish from overharvest and boost the numbers of larger catfish.
The goal is to gather data for a three-year study on blue catfish sizes, population and growth rates. MDC crews will run jug lines through late autumn. The catfish caught will be weighed, measured and released. Biologists will also remove spines from a certain number of fish within a range of sizes to gather age and growth information.
