1 Management of Small Impoundments Chapter 12 (Lake food webs) Chapter 15 (Natural Lakes) Chapter 16 (Farm Ponds & Small Impoundments) Quote for today: "The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing. Babylonian Proverb

2 Goals Explain pond ecology and management principles and important options for achieving desirable outcomes of pond fisheries ( balance ) Evaluate a case as an example in lab

3 What are small impoundments? Wetlands, (farm) ponds, swamps, small lakes Size ac

4 Construction lots of planning Dams to impound water Lots of considerations

5 (Multiple) Uses Food Water Flood control Recreation Wildlife conservation

6 Pond Management Fishing quality Closed, manageable systems

7 HELP: Pond Management The Science and Management Cooperative Extension Service National Resources Conservation Service Fish and Wildlife Agencies Private Consulting firms State Fish and Game Departments Links on Webpage

8 Beginnings of Pond Mgt

9 Pond Ecology Physical Zonation Temperature Size, shape Habitat (veg, timber, substrate, contour, heterogeneity Light Water movement Chemical ph, CO2 Nutrients (productivity, fertility) DO Alkalinity Biotic Food web, trophic structure Competition Predation Top-down, Bottom up Trophic cascade Willis et al. Ch. 16 IFM Neal and Willis 2012 Small impoundment mgt in NA

10 Pond Ecology Interaction and all that stuff

11 Pond Ecology & Management Principles Trophic relationships Producer levels Consumer levels Predators and Prey Harvest Habitat Refuge Spawning Temp Water Chemistry DO Alk Zooplankton MacroInverts Zooplanktivore Phytoplankton Piscivore Piscivore

12 Pond Ecology & Management Principles Population dynamics and demographics: TERMS Pop size (Density) K vs. standing stock AND stunting Size structure Age structure Growth and mortality rates

13 General Principle Mean Fish Size ~ productivity + habitat Mean Fish Size ~ 1 / Density

14 Pond Management Tactics: Review Bottom up (e.g., habitat) Top down Predators Harvest and regulating harvest (critical)

15 Types of harvest regs Minimum (Protected) slot C/R harvest No harvest harvest trophy

16 Other Items to Consider Spawning Feeding Fertilize Lime Turbidity Vegetation Stunting These factors don t operate in a vacuum

17 Reproduction/Spawning Desired! Know your system

18 Feeding Increase K (or growth) of infertile ponds High harvest ponds Grow bigger fish Know your system Negative effects

19 Fertilization Where soils are infertile Caution

20 Liming Increases alkalinity, reduces acidity

21 Turbidity Colloidal size particles Gypsum, Alum, Ferric sulfate

22 Aquatic Vegetation Algae Phytoplankton Macrophytes

23 Aquatic Vegetation Management Know how to fish it!

24 Aquatic Vegetation Management Mechanical: Harvesting Dredging Shading: plastic films, mesh, dyes Draining and freezing

25 Aquatic Vegetation Management Chemical: Herbicides

26 Aquatic Vegetation Management Biological Grass carp Barley Straw Insects

27 Aquatic Vegetation Natural Succession of lentic systems Eutrophication Cultural Eutrophication Manage it for balance

28 Pond Management Each pond is unique

29 Pond Assessment 1. Do nothing 2. Corrective stocking 3. Harvest manipulation 4. Reclamation Rotenone

30 General Types of Ponds Warmwater Coldwater Coolwater

31 Stocking and Harvest Options Objectives Regional strategies Case by case basis Angler owner preferences

32 All-Purpose Harvest of LMB, BG, and CC in slot limit for LMB

33 Harvest Quota Option Quota on number or weight per time Difficult: Tend to overharvest larger individuals

34 Panfish Option Big panfish instead of LMB 15 in min length for LMB Easy and safe? Hybrids

35 Big BASS Option Reduce number of LMB 8-15 inches so remaining individuals grow large Release all LMB > 15 inches (except bucket mouths) Feed them

36 Catfish Only Option Muddy or small ponds Limit spawning habitat

37 Black Bass Only Option Ponds with too much cover Feed on crayfish, bugs, own young Safe and easy

38 Trout Options Coldwater ponds spring fed Rainbow trout Fee-fishing ponds Boring?

39 Other recent stocking strategies Coppernose Bluegill growth Feed-trained LMB mixed feelings Female only LMB hard to ID Hybrid striped bass limnetic predator (Pickerel) or Pike human competitor

40 Pond Construction Pretty rare now Wouldn t it be fun to design your own pond?
