ManagementIn 1975 the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources in Huronia District did a trap netting survey. They netted about 2000 black crappie. In 1983, with nets set in the same areas, the agency came up with more than 12000 crappies.
Fisheries management has found it unnecessary to stock black crappies from hatcheries for maintenance in many new fisheries. They survive and populate well. Many areas have found that few or no regulations on size and possession limits are needed to keep the stock healthy.
