History Of

A combination of intensified effort and size limit removal in the mid-1960s resulted in exceptional landings of yellow perch, Perca flavescens, from Saginaw Bay. Though gillnet effort increased from insignificance to account for more than half of the annual catch, gillnet catch per unit of effort (CPE) did not decline during the period of intensified fishing (1964–71) despite severe depletion on some grounds. Trapnet landings and CPE peaked in 1966, when the size limit was removed, but by the early 1970s both statistics were only one-third of the 1966 peaks. A fishing-up sequence began in outer Saginaw Bay and the stocks there were depleted. The fishery then shifted to the inner bay, where the stocks also declined, but to a lesser degree. With intensification of the fishery yellow perch growth rate increased, age-groups V–VII were no longer prominent in the catch and females became relatively scarce shortly after attaining vulnerability. The low recruitment of the late 1960s and early 1970s may have been related to the reduced brood stocks.Within the past 35 yr those changes in the fish community which appeared to affect yellow perch most included loss of the walleye, Stizostedion vitreum vitreum, in the 1940s and proliferation of smelt, Osmerus mordax, and alewife, Alosa pseudoharengus, in the 1950s. However, these changes occurred well before the late 1960s, and were probably not involved in the recent yellow perch decline.A comparison of the rate and regularity of the spring warming with the strengths of the strongest and weakest year-classes for the years 1957–75 suggested that spring temperature had an important role in reproductive success.

Class Strength

Factors regulating year-class strength in the percid genera Stizostedion and Perca are summarized. Some index of water temperature regime correlates significantly with year-class strength of percids in many water bodies. Moderate synchrony of year-class strength is noted for walleye (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum) in several lakes in North America. A probablistic model is proposed to explain the basis of temperature dependence of year-class strength in percids, but tests of the model using Lake Erie data indicated that observed correlations between temperature and year-class strength of yellow perch (Perca flavescens) and walleye may not be the result of direct effects of the temperature regime on survivorship of early life-history phases.

Trade-offs among growth, mortality, and reproduction form the basis of life history theory but may vary among populations owing to local ecological conditions. We examined life history trade-offs driving variation in maturation among 13 yellow perch (Perca flavescens) stocks in the Great Lakes using sex-specific age and length at 50% maturity (A50 and L50, respectively) and probabilistic maturation reaction norm midpoints (Lp50,a). Both sexes exhibited positive correlations between growth and mortality, and faster-growing stocks were mature at younger ages but larger sizes. Male and female A50 and L50 were positively correlated among stocks, but Lp50,a estimates were negatively correlated among stocks, indicating stocks that matured at large sizes for a given age in females matured at smaller age-specific sizes in males. Female Lp50,a estimates were negatively related to growth and mortality, while male Lp50,a estimates were positively related to growth. These results suggest that (i) sex-based life history trade-offs sometimes act to differentially structure maturation schedules in males and females and (ii) males may be less responsive to changes in mortality than females.
