Vertical Distribution of Dissolved Oxygen and Water Temperatures in Lake Hamilton with Special Reference to Suitable Rainbow Trout Habitat

Lake Hamilton is the middle of three lakes located in series on the Ouachita River in Southwestern Arkansas. Following the initial release of water through the penstocks from the upper newest lake, a subsurface current was detected in Lake Hamilton. During the summer of 1960, physical-chemical tests were made at nine stations along the channel to determine the extent of the current. Data collected showed the water remained oxygenated from the surface to the bottom.

Observations On The Infestation Of A Fresh Water Fish Population By A Marine Copepod (Ergasilus Iizae Kroyer 1863)

Lake Shelby, an 829-acre natural lake, located in Baldwin County at Gulf Shores, Alabama was treated with emulsifiable rotenone in October, 1956 to eliminate an undesirable fish population. The lake was restocked with the bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus; the redear sunfish, Lepomis microlophus; and the largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides. Subsequent population examinations following restocking revealed in 1958 that a copepod was infesting the gills of the fish.

A Study Of Two Streams Receiving Domestic Sewage

A study involving macro-invertebrate populations, fish populations, and water quality determinations was conducted on Bicycle Path Creek and Parkerson Mill Creek, Lee County, Alabama, during a nine-month period in 1959. The streams, averaging 7.0 and 5.8 inches in depth and 10.0 and 12.8 feet in width, respectively, received domestic sewage from approximately half of the 16,000 inhabitants of Auburn, Alabama. Sewage was diverted from Bicycle Path Creek and pumped via a lift station to a sewage treatment plant located on Parkerson Mill Creek.

A Description And Some Results Of A Florida State Wide Fish Tagging Program

During the period 1960-1962 a state-wide fish tagging program employing substantial rewards to sport fishermen for tag returns was conducted in Florida. A total of 19,470 fish including 5,328 largemouth bass were captured, tagged, and released. There were 24.2 percent of the tagged bass, 4.5 percent of the bluegill, 3.8 percent of the shellcracker, and 8.9 percent of the crappie returned. Little difference in returns was noted between fish which were transported prior to release and those which were released into the waters from which they were captured.

Harvest Of Fish From Tailwaters Of Three Large Impoundments In Missouri

Quantitative creel census techniques were employed on Missouri tailwaters for the fist time during 1961. Specific areas below Table Rock and Taneycomo Reservoirs on White River and below Clearwater Reservoir on Black River were censused using a stratified sampling technique throughout the year. Estimated fishing pressure on Table Rock tailwater was 608 hours per acre and the rate of catch amounted to 0.62 fish per hour. The yield per acre was about 380 fish, weighing 192 pounds. Hatchery reared rainbow trout comprised nearly 90 percent of the yield by number.

A Comparative Study Of Two Catfish Basket Baits

A study comparing pressed cottonseed cake with fresh cut fish as baits for catfish baskets was conducted at High Rock Reservoir in Piedmont North Carolina. The average weight of catfish taken in cut-fish baited baskets was 0.29 lb. while those taken in cake-baited baskets averaged only 0.14 lb. Catch per basket-day in cut-fish baited baskets was: catfish, 1.170 lb.; carp, 0.009 lb. ; crappie, 0.025 lb.; sunfish, 0.001 lb.; and miscellaneous fishes, 0.003 lb.

A Preliminary Report On The Use Of Hormones To Ovulate Striped Bass, Roccus Saxatilis (Walbaum)

Of 162 female striped bass treated with hormones during the 1962 spawning season, 44 (27.2%) were induced to ovulate. Of several preparations used, chorionic gonadotropin proved to be very effective while follicle stimulating hormone was slightly effective. Of 36 million striped bass eggs put into the hatchery only 7.3 percent hatched. The cause of mortality is 1argely unknown.

A Test Of Track Counts As A Measurement Of Deer Population Size

Three 160 acre deer enclosures were stocked with 2, 4, and 8 deer respectively. Track counts were made simultaneously on prepared surfaces in the enclosures. It was found that the track counts were not directly proportional to population size. Thus it appears that track counts are not a valid measurement of population size, if a linear relationship through the origin between population size and number of tracks is assumed. The track counts were able to detect that there were differences in population size, but it did not tell us the magnitude of this difference.

Catfish Basket Comparison Study

A study was conducted which tested the orientation of the slotted opening in welded wire catfish baskets. Comparisons were made as to the catfish and gamefish catches when the slotted openings were set horizontally, vertically, or at random. Catch rates are presented in 48, 72, 96, and 120-hour set periods. Catfish (primarily white catfish) comprised 97.79 percent of the total weight, and were caught at an overall rate of 1.16 pounds per basket-day. The random, horizontal, and vertical opening baskets yielded 1.28, 1.06, and 1.15 pounds of catfish per basket-day, respectively.

Dynamics Of The Largemouth Bass Population In Bull Shoals Reservoir, Missouri

Black bass fishing in the White River Arm of Bull Shoals Reservoir, Missouri, was regarded as sensational for several years following its impoundment in 1952. In 1958, just after a tagging program was added to test netting and creel census programs, an unpredicted decline in black bass fishing began. Only largemouth bass nine inches or longer were tagged so population estimates include only that portion of the population. In 1958, black bass numbers reached an all-time high, but late that year the population began a decline which continued throughout the study.

Growth Of Channel Catfish, Ictalurus Punctatus, And Blue Catfish, Ictalurus Furcatus, In The Kentucky Lake Portion Of The Tennessee River In Tennessee

The age and rate of growth of channel and blue catfish were determined by the pectoral spine section aging technique. At the end of their first year's growth, channel catfish weighed 0.10 pound and were 4.3 inches in length (total length), and blue catfish weighed 0.12 pound and were 5.3 inches in length. At the end of ten years, channel catfish weighed 9.2 pounds and were 25.2 inches long, and blue catfish weighed 24.26 and were 33.3 inches long.

Low-Flow Regulation As A Means Of Improving Stream Fishing

Studies by the U. S. Study Commission, Southeast River Basins, and cooperating agencies have disclosed that utilization of many streams in the study area is curtailed in part by excessively low stages and sometimes by excessively high stages during the fishing season. The U. S. Study Commission has considered the regulation of low flows by controlled discharge from upstream storage reservoirs as one means of improving such streams for fishing.
