Results of a control and eradication program for illegally introduced non-endemic Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu) in Miramichi Lake, New Brunswick, 2010 / by G. Chaput and D. Moore.: Fs97-6/3273E-PDF

"A containment, control and eradication program based on mechanical removal to control and prevent the spawning and recruitment of Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu), an illegally introduced non-endemic species in Miramichi Lake, New Brunswick, was initiated in 2010. A wide range of fishing methods were used including backpack electrofishing, boat electrofishing, fyke nets, gill nets, beach seining, and angling. Seventeen species, exclusive of Smallmouth Bass were identified from the catches with the most abundant species in the catches being Yellow Perch, White Sucker, White Perch and Fallfish. A total of 2,584 Smallmouth Bass, aged zero to ten years old, were captured and removed, of which 98% were young-of-the-year (YOY) from spawning in 2010"--Abstract, p. vi.
