Moreover thosespecies characteristic of the smaller inland ponds will be present only in the moreconfined situations, and will likely be in the minority. Undoubtedly food supplyhas something to do with these differences, but it is evident from a considerationof the facts that food supply is not one of the important factors. Apart from thegeneral questions of distribution, the matter is of some practical importance, sinceit involves the question of the habitability of certain smaller lakes to small mouthedbass or other game fishes and the reservation of such lakes for stocking beaches, channels, or similar clean surfaces, tend to be occupied by livespecies,
