Austin — If you’re perplexed
by recent summery weather,
consider tire poor male black
bass.
When the weather warms up
to about 59 degrees, he starts
clearing a place for a nest and
then seeks a female to lay eggs
in it.
This has happened to bot’h
wild and fish hatchery bass
rues ox ™l|durin| thC P3St WaeV.n S°^:
at 9177 Nnrih 'cast Texas, accoi ding, to Texas
Parks and Wildhfe Department
Biologist Lonnio. Potters.
The spawn normally will not
live, as the next prolonged cold
snap will drive the male bass
away from the nest and leave
the eggs unprotected.
Luckily, spawning can be
and often is repeated and the
chances for successful spawn-
ing later in the spring are still
good. However, Peters said, a
series of alternating warms and
cold periods could limit the
spawn to the extent that a bass
fry shortage could occur in
state fish hatcheries for stock-
ing purposes. s
Fish hatchery personnel try
to restrain the hatchery bass
from spawning too early by
keeping water circulating
through the various ponds. The
resulting variations it; tem-
perature tend to discourage the
early spawn.
