ABSTRACT
Stomachs
of
90
young-of-the-year
largemouth
bass,
collected month'ly
frorn
June
through
September
in
Coffeen
Lake,
were
examined
for
foo<l
content. First year
bass
were
primarily
insectivorous
during"the
month
of
June
but
transference
to
piscivory
was
cornpleted
by
July.
The rJata
suggested
that
a
piscivorcrus
diet
cornmenced
at
about
70
mm for
most indivicluals
ancl Oorosoma
sp.
were
preferred
over
other
species
as
prey.
Specimens
collected
from
the
heated
area
in
September
had
apparently
only
consurned
insects,
whereas those
colJected
from
ambient
locations
on that
date
exhibited
a
more
typical
piscivorous
diet. Food
competition
between
first-year
bass
and bluegills
is
probably
negliqible
in.
Coffeen
Lake
since
piscivory
becones
the
prertominant
feeding
strategy
early
in
life
for
bass
while
bluegills
retain
an insectivorous
habit
throughout
life.

Ichthyoplankton

Larval

During

when

Bionass, rafher

Several rnathematical
mode'ls
have
been
formulated
for predicLiriq
standirrg
cfops
of
f ishes
in Iakes
based
upon
selectecl morphometri,:
arrrJ
edaphic
characterist
ics
of
the
lake
basin.
Ryder's
(1965)
morphoedaphic
index
utilizes
the
r-atio
of
total
dissolved
solids
(TOs
in
ptrn)
and mean
depth
(ft)
as
a
predictor
of
hriomass
for
ncrth-temperate
lakes.
Application
of the index
to
Coffecn
Lake,
using
750
ppm
as an
average
TDS
(section
3,
herein)
and. lB.i
ft. as
ihe
rnean
lake
depth,
yielded
a
predicted
value
of
382.2 kg/ha
which
only stighily
underestimates
our
estimate
from
cove rotenone
samples.
The index
is not
directly
applicable
to
Coffeen
Lake, however,
because
of
its
mor.e
southerly
location
and
a large
sulfate
component
associabecl
with
the
iDS
which is believecl
to
have
originated
from
sources
other than
erlaphic
ones
(Section
l,
herein),
Ryder
et al.
(1974)
cautjoned
against
utilizing
the
index
for
predictive
purposes
when the
lake
in
question
has
anomalous
features
such
as high
sulfates,
a
chemical
constituent
which
aoparent)y is
unrelated
to fish
crops.
.Jenkins
(1977)
uti
lized
a regression
equation
f
or model
in<.1
stanrting
crops
of reservoir
fishes [rased
upon TDS
concentrations
and
chernical
clraracteristics
of I
akes.
Applying
the
regression
for
carbonate-
bicarbonate
rJorninaterl
waters
yielded
a
predicted
standing
crop
of
475.7 kg/ha
which
is
comparable
to
our actual
est.imate.
:Jenkins'
sarnple'of
reservoirs,
however,
cjid
not inclucle
any with
a
TDS'valtle
as
high as that
found
in Coffeen
Lake.
Utilizing
his fornula
for
predicting
the
standing
crop
in
Coffeen
Lake
thus
requires
interpolation

ABSTRACT
Spawnlng peri0dicity
and fecundity
nf
largemouth
bass
(Hicropterus
salrnoides
)
and
fecundity
of channel
catfish
(Jctalurus
punc_tatus)

Coffeen
Lake, a
446-ha

watcr
rese;voir
for
a
945-Meltl
electric generating
station
in
central
Il linois,
The
objective
of
ilris
study
was to
evaluate
the
effect
of a thermal
clischarqe
on
spawning
time
and
egg
production
by
these
species.
Spawning
time
of female
largemouth
bass
was
estimated
wiur
gonosomatic
indiccs
and
exarnination
of

stages.
Spawnirrg
was foun6
to hegjn
in
mid
or
Iate
t4arch
in heatec
a'i-eas
but
noi until
late
April
or
mirl-May
in
ambient
arels.
The
onsel
of
spawning
by female
largemouth
bass
occurrcd
unusually
ear^ly in
the
heated
area
of Coffeen
Lake
and may represent
tho
earJiest
recorderl
rtate
for
spaivning
by this
species
in
any

just
as bass
were
beginning
to
spau{n and
probably,
delayed
spawning
by
most
of
the fish
in tlrat
area for I
to 3
weeks.
In spite
of'
this delay,
spawning
activity by
most fish in
the
heaied area was still
advarrcetj
over that
obselved in
ambient :areds
The
accuracy
of
the
spawning indices
utilized was depenrlerrt
upon the
intensity
and'frequency
of sampling
of adult females
during the
spawning season. Since
our
specirnens
were collected
at l-2 week intervals,
peak
GSI arrd
gonad rnaturity
stage
values cannot be
viewed
as
precise
estinators of incipient
spawning.
Nonetheless, both
indices sugcested
that:bass

spawnin3
3-4
weeks
earlier than those
in ambient
areas and reached
peak
activity
approximately
three
weeks earlier.
Eievated water temperatures
in
tlre discharge
arm
probably
advanced
spawning time by
acce'lerating the reproductive
proc'ess
or'
advancinglthe time'of
reproductive
readiness.
'
Surface water temperatures
at the
time
of
peak
GSI
va.lues were relatively
low
('16"C
in the
heated
area and
l4'C
in
the,ambient
area),
but
higher.
temperatures
prevailed
ear'lier. at both locations
(Fi

).
Presumably, temperatures
suitable
for
spawning'
(
15.6-23.9'C,
Heidinger
1975)
precedecl
the time of
initial spawning.
A more
protracted
spawning
period
in
the
heated area
(approximately
four
weeks
in
duration
compared
to
less
than two
weeks in
the
ambient
area) may have been
