Abstract: Age and rate of growth, sex ratio, maturity, fecundity, movement, and exploitation rates were determined for the sauger population in Lewis and Clark Lake and the Missouri River between Gavins Point and Fort Randall dams. Marking studies revealed mature sauger left the reservoir in the fall, moved into the Missouri River, and concentrated in the tailwater of Fort Randall Dam. After spawning in the spring they returned to the reservoir. Suggested management measures for sauger include introduction of forage fish to improve growth, increased angler harvest, and reduction of water level fluctuation on spawning grounds to improve year-class strength. |
