When white crappies reach a length of 12–15 centimetres (4.7–5.9 in), they are considered adult. The adults feed mainly on small fish such as minnows and young American shad, [14] and large invertebrates such as crayfish and hellgrammites. [13] [17] Their diet can vary depending on their location. They feed the most in June through October.
They feed during dawn and dusk, by moving into open water or approaching the shore. [20] [21] 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]
Individuals smaller than about 16 centimetres (6.3 in) in length eat plankton and minuscule crustaceans, while larger individuals feed on small fish (like shad), as well as minnows. [6] Adult black crappies feed on fewer fish than white crappies do; instead they consume a larger volume of insects, insect larvae [17] and crustaceans. [7]

Lake Ellsworth is a lake in Caddo and Comanche counties in the state of Oklahoma in the United States. [1] It was built by the City of Lawton, Oklahoma in 1962, primarily to serve as a water supply source for Lawton and the surrounding area. The nearest community is Elgin, Oklahoma. [5]
The mouth itself is subterminal to inferior (on the lower portion of the head), and the adults possess no teeth. [7] The gizzard shad also has 90 to 275 gill rakers along the lower limbs. [ 4 ] Their ventral (pelvic) fins are in the thoracic position, or in the chest region of the fish.
