Routine Culling Saves Black Bass

The latest issue of the Biological Field Station Reporter, which arrived in the mail yesterday, reported on the narrow escape of a black bass culled from Moe Pond with a bullhead stuck in its mouth. “Given the size and rigidity of the dorsal and pectoral spines bullheads possess, this bass had a good chance of choking to death,” the Reporter reported. Moe Pond is on the BFS’ Thayer Farm property, above Otsego Lake.
