Description:The fish productivity index and model developed in this study will provide an approximation of the average annual fish yield for large lakes by acquiring easily gathered data. Furthermore, this index is applicable on a worldwide basis without any modifications with the only restrictions being: (1) lake surface area must exceed 500 km2, and (2) the lake must not be subject to extreme environmental conditions, such as pollution or turbidity. Estimation of fish productivity is necessary for lake development and management. Given this information, management programs can be effectively achieved and can lead to the maximum sustainable yield for both commercial and recreational utilizations.
