Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 10: April 1958 As strange as it may seem, frequently the reason for poor fishing in our fresh waters is too many fish. That is, the wrong kind of fish, with the most commonly too abundant species being the gizzard shad. Also occuring at times in. Large enough quantities to be a problem is the smaller relative of the gizzard shad, the threadfin shad. To a statement such as has been made above, the answer is usually given, how can you have too many fish? Well, it must be remembered that a body of water is capable of producing only a given amount of fish. This total production of the fish population is different for various bodies of water and is dependent upon the amount of basic nutrients which the body of water has available, indirectly, for the fish population. Therefore it follows that if a body of water can only produce so many fish and the more of these fish that are rough or trash fish then the smaller the amount of desirable fish which may be produced.
