Centrarchid Technical Committee

Mission:  To encourage and coordinate research leading to the development of functional management strategies toward the wise use of centrarchid stocks, to advance the knowledge of centrarchid ecology, and to provide a forum in which pertinent data and technologies can be exchanged within the scientific community and among user groups.

Meetings:  The Centrarchid Technical Committee meets twice a year, once in the summer in conjunction with the Walleye Technical Committee and once in the winter in conjunction with the annual Midwest Fish & Wildlife Conference. The summer meeting is informal with presentations and discussions. The winter meeting is a shorter formal business meeting where representatives submit their state and provincial annual reports.

CTC Student Travel Award: The Centrarchid Technical Committee Student Travel Award annually assists one student conducting centrarchid related research of interest to the CTC with a grant of $250 to attend the annual Midwest Fish and Wildlife Conference. More information is available HERE.
