- Abstract
The article focuses on a study on ecological consequences of species introduction, citing example of congeneric sunfish. It states the introduction of redear sunfish or Lepomis microlophus in southern Michigan for sport fishery enhancement, which has reportedly created an artificial sympatry of pumpkinseed and redear sunfiss. It mentions that negative ecological impacts of the introduction on pumpkinseed like competition for snails, and cites data like growth and densities of pumpkinseed.
