White crappies spawn in May and June when the water temperature reaches 56 °F (13 °C). Males construct nests by creating small, bowl-shaped depressions on the bottom around brush, rocks, and logs in the shallow water. During the spawning season, males develop dark coloration on their throats. Females lay 5,000 to 30,000 eggs.
At one point, the annual crappie catch sold at fish markets in the United States was reported to be about 3 million pounds (1,400 t). [27] A commercial fishery for crappies existed at Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee until 2003. It was one of the few commercial fisheries for crappies in recent decades. [28] [29]
