Crappie

 

Crappie:
Crappie is a genus of freshwater fish that belong to the sunfish family. As adults, Crappie tend to feed on smaller species which includes the young of their predators. Nevertheless, their diets can be considered diverse including zooplankton and insects. During the day crappie tend to be much less active spend most of their time around weed beds or submerged rocks or limbs. They become active feeders as the daylight comes to an end.

 

White Crappie:
Native throughout areas of the eastern half of Canada and the US, the White Crappie has been widely introduced to the west as well. The dorsal fin of this fish contains six spines and this fish can live as long as ten years. This species prefers water that is slower-moving being the backwater of a small creek or a large lake. In small bodies of water, this fertile fish may greatly overpopulated the area they are contained in. When they spawn, this fish deposits the eggs on the surface of a plant or in nests in shallow water which are poorly defines.

 

Black Crappie:
The Black Crappie is very similar to the White Crappie in size, shape and habitat except that this fish is darker and has a series of black spots. It can be spotted by the seven of either spines that are on its dorsal fin. The Black Crappie has been so widely transplanted that its actualy range is not easliy determined, but it can be assumed that it is similar to the White Crappie since their characteristics are so similar. This fish prefers water clearer water and has a diet that does not involve eating other fish as the White Crappie does.
