INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS - STATUS OF WHITE PERCH AND YELLOW PERCH in MD

[Brandon]

Maryland Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Service INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS - STATUS OF WHITE PERCH AND YELLOW PERCH
Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Fisheries Service will hold informational meetings on the status of yellow perch and white perch in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Biologists will report on their findings from long-term studies of river specific stocks and discuss the effects of habitat and commercial and recreational fisheries on the stocks. Overall, the stocks of both species are relatively abundant, with some river specific issues that can influence fishery regulations. Question and answer sessions will follow the presentations. This is not a regulatory hearing although there will be a discussion of possible management options.
The informational hearings will be held 6:00 p.m., Monday, November 28, 2005, in the C-1 conference room at the Tawes State Office Building, 580 Taylor Avenue, Annapolis, MD and at 6:00 Tuesday, November 29, 2005 at the Dorchester County Commissioners Office, 501 Court Lane, Cambridge, MD. All interested parties are invited to attend and give their views.
