Black crappies and other panfish support important harvest-oriented fisheries throughout North America. USGS scientists at the Wisconsin Cooperative Fishery Research Unit are working closely with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to determine how changes in panfish harvest regulations affect where anglers choose to fish.
