USGS Works with Partners to Study and Summarize Health of Yellow Perch
The USGS works with U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and Maryland Department of Natural Resources to summarize the effects of suburban lands and contaminants on the health of yellow perch in the Chesapeake Bay.
Visit the fact sheet (FS 2013-3055) “Reproductive Health of Yellow Perch, Perca flavescens, in Chesapeake Bay Tributaries” for key findings and conclusions.
The Bay Journal article “Development likely culprit in degradation of fish habitat: Yellow perch study finds correlation between reduced reproduction and increase in impervious surfaces.” provides more information on this joint study.
