Brouha, PaulPrince, Eric D.2015-08-052015-08-051974http://hdl.handle.net/10919/55347Construction of artificial reefs in marine waters is a popular method of improving saltwater sport fishing. Much has been published about artificial reefs and reef-building (Frank Steimle and Richard B. Stone (1) have compiled a voluminous bibliography concerning the subject). Parker, Stone, Buchanan, and Steimle of the National Marine Fisheries Service have recently completed How to Build a Marine Artificial Reef (2), as an aid in planning and constructing artificial reefs in marine environments. Fishing in lakes, reservoirs, and ponds could possibly be improved, as well, by proper use of artificial reefs. However, the freshwater reef builder is confronted with somewhat different problems than those encountered in marine water. The purpose of this publication is to offer guidelines for planning and constructing artificial reefs in freshwater environments.14 pagesapplication/pdfen-USVirginia Cooperative Extension materials are available for public use, re-print, or citation without further permission, provided the use includes credit to the author and to Virginia Cooperative Extension, Virginia Tech, and Virginia State University.LD5655 .A762ReefsExtension publication8605190
