Concerning Hybrid Bream (Sunfish)
This is a quote form the booklet "Managing Mississippi FARM PONDS and small lakes"
Hybrid Bream
......."Do not stock hybrids into ponds containing other fish, and never stock them in combination with other bream species.
Always stock hybrids in combination with a predator fish since, contrary to popular belief, they are not sterile. Most hybrid populations are 85-95 percent males, and this results in lower reproductive potential. They will, however, still tend to overpopulate, and the offspring are not desirable. ......... The most commonly used hybrids result from crossing male bluegills with female green sunfish."

Just a little info for those that are interested or are planning a small pond. Your local USDA office may have similar info.
