Relationship Between Catch Rate, Water Terajjerature, and Transparency 



* fish per 100 hooks 



From the above data it appears that temperatures of 18-20° at the 

 100-meter level are favorable for fishing, and in general a tendency can 

 be seen for the fishing to become poorer when the temperature rises above 

 23°. Optimum transparencies appear to be between 23 and 27 meters, while 

 clear water with transparencies greater than 30 meters and turbid (unclear) 

 water with transparencies less than 10 meters are unfavorable for fishings
