Evaluation of Smallmouth Bass Populations in Abrams Creek and Little River Within Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Cook S. 2016. Evaluation of Smallmouth Bass Populations in Abrams Creek and Little River Within Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Growth rates of small mouth bass in Abrams Creek and Little River were not significantly different. Growth curves predicted smallmouth bass in Abrams Creek would reach 305 mm (12 inches) in 6.7 years and reach the same length in Little River in 8.1 years. Bass were at higher densities in Abrams Creek than in the Little River. Smallmouth bass in the park should be sampled during lower discharge periods for the most accurate estimates of densities.
