I was just reading up on flatheads,and came across an interesting article.Native vs. Introduced flatheads.the study was conducted on the coosa & tallapoosa rivers(native),and the Ocmulgee & Satilla rivers(introduced).
The study showed that the introduced flathead grew 4 times faster than the native flathead.i just found that to be an interesting fact,and thought i would share.
yeah i figure thats why.i was just tryin to do math instead of tryin to remember the .025 to.173 type stuff.my numbers may be off but thats the way i equated it.
i'm not sayin' that,maybe the study does.what i think its sayin,and this is only an oppinion,is that when the flats were introduced into the non-native rivers,factors such as abundant food supply,maybe a longer growing season,and possibly a suitible habitat lets them grow quiker than they did in the 2 native rivers.but if left unchecked or mismanaged that could change.
