Abstract
Redbreast sunfish are a highly valued sport species in the Edisto River, South Carolina. The 2000, 2001, and 2002 spawning cohorts were produced during a period of prolonged drought, while the 2003 cohort was produced during a drought-busting flood. This major hydrologic change in the system provided an opportunity to inspect the effect of this change on the recruitment and growth of redbreast sunfish during drought and flood periods. Our research hypotheses for redbreast sunfish were: Increased spawning success during flood as compared to a drought year ; Increased growth during a flood compared to a drought year. The objective of this effort was to evaluate these hypotheses.
