PROJECT: Evaluation of the trophy potential for flathead catfish in the Kansas River
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the distribution and size structure of flathead catfish in the Kansas River from Junction City to Kansas City, Kansas.
- Evaluate movement of flathead catfish in the Kansas River to determine if management of the species can be site specific.
- Determine age, growth, and mortality of flathead catfish in the Kansas River from Junction City to Kansas City, Kansas.
- Determine the effects of various management alternatives (e.g., minimum length limits) of flathead catfish populations in the Kansas River through modeling (i.e., FAST).
