About 1,200 ha of hydrilla (
Hydrilla verticillata
L.f. Royle)
was eliminated in the Spring Creek embayment of Lake Seminole,
Georgia, using a drip-delivery application of fluridone
(1- methyl-3-phenyl-5-[3-(trifluoromethl) phenyl]-4(1H)-pyridinone)
in 2000 and 2001.
Two groups of 15 and 20 largemouth
bass (Micropterus salmoides Lacepede) were implanted
with 400-day radio tags in February 2000 and 2001 to determine
changes in movement and behavior before and after
hydrilla reduction.(PDF contains 8 pages.
