Abstract
Description
This paper is part of study 316 entitled "Duck and
Pheasant Management in the Pothole Region of Wisconsin." Study
316 was initiated in 1982 by the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources to determine methods of increasing waterfowl and
pheasant production on private and public lands.
As a part of study 316, 2 experiments were conducted to
evaluate impacts of fish communities on waterfowl food resources.
A paired pen study was conducted to evaluate impacts of fathead
minnows on waterfowl invertebrate foods. Two paired pond
experiments were conducted to further evaluate impacts of minnow
and other wetland fish species which occur on federal and state
Waterfowl. Production Areas. Pen study data are included in the
first paper and appendix A.
Paired-pond data are included in appendices B-K.
