Hybrid crappie (Pomoxis annularis × nigromaculatus) have been cultured and occur naturally. [22] The crossing of a black crappie female and white crappie male has better survival and growth rates among offspring than the reciprocal cross does. [22] Hybrid crappie are difficult to distinguish from black crappie by appearance alone.
The black crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus) is a freshwater fish found in North America, one of the two types of crappies. It is very similar to the white crappie (P. annularis) in size, shape, and habits, except that it is darker, with a pattern of black spots. Alternate names for the species include calico bass, speck, speckled perch, speckled ...
The white crappie (Pomoxis annularis) is a freshwater fish found in North America, one of the two species of crappies. [3] Alternate common names for the species include goldring , silver perch , [ 4 ] white perch and sac-a-lait . [ 3 ]
Habitat characteristics include sediment type, type of bottoms (sand, silt and clay), structures underlying the water surface, and aquatic community structures. These habitats are essential for fish and ecosystem health. The fundamental habitat structure begins with sediment. Erosion is stabilized by submerged aquatic vegetation.
Consisting of pipes cemented into cinder blocks, they are called "spider blocks" because of their resemblance to large spiders. Each block is 8 feet (2.4 m) by 8 feet (2.4 m). There are 27 blocks in each habitat area. [7] ODCW said that crappie, sunfish and bass are especially attracted to these structures.
Structures built by non-human animals, often called animal architecture, [1] are common in many species. Examples of animal structures include termite mounds , ant hills , wasp and beehives , burrow complexes, beaver dams , elaborate nests of birds , and webs of spiders .

In the realm of art and design, interspecies design has been applied in creating shared spaces and experiences for multiple species, such as in the design of prosthetic habitat-structures for owls. [ 6 ]
