Abstract
Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus), green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus), largemou th bass (Micropterus salmoides), and longear sunfish (Lepomis megalotis) we re sampled from 14 streams in southeastern Kansas for age determination and growth analysis. Growth rates for all species were highly variable among s treams and were consistently lower than rates reported for these species fr om Missouri and Oklahoma streams. The results of this study provide importa nt information on growth of centrarchids in Kansas streams.
