In order to make an estimate of the size of a population of animals at a given time by the Petersen method, use is made of a sample of the fraction of marked animals in the population. However, if some of the animals originally marked lose their marks and thus can not be identified in the sample, a Petersen type estimate will be biased, the magnitude of the bias depending upon the proportion of animals retaining their identity. If an estimate can be made of the animals which have retained their identity at a given time, it is possible to make corrections for this bias.

An Evaluation of Prestocking Checks Conducted by Fishery Biologists in Alabama Ponds In its attempt to provide more and better fishing in the State, the Fisheries Section of the Alabama Department of Conservation initiated a program whereby fishery biologists would check all ponds before they were stocked with hatchery fish. Attempts were made to contact each pond owner, check the pond in his presence, and advise him of the proper methods of stocking and management which have resulted from fisheries research in Alabama. A total of 845 ponds were checked in 14 counties in east-central Alabama during the period of September 1955 through September 1959.

The Effect of Black Bullhead Catfish and Bluegill Removals on the Fish Population of a Small Lake The effect of removing various amounts of bluegill and black bullhead catfish from a small lake on the remaining fishes were studied. Estimates of population size by mark and recapture, numbers of desirable size fish, condition indexes and age and growth rates reveal some improvement in certain species but it was concluded that removals alone may not always produce greatly improved fish populations.

Toxaphene as a Fish Eradicant in Florida Experiments to determine concentrations of toxaphene lethal to fishes in a variety of lake types and to discern selective fish-killing properties of the material were conducted. Concentrations ranging from 1 to 85 parts per billion were placed in fourteen bodies of water varying in size 200 from 0.5 to 2,100 acres. Vegetative cover varied from 0 to 95 percent, methyl orange alkalinity from 2 p.p.m. to 74 p.p.m., and hydrogen-ion concentrations from 5.1 to 9.5. Bottom types included gravel, sand, silt and mud.

Removal of Longnose Gar from Rivers and Streams with the Use of Dynamite During the summer and fall of 1957, experiments with dynamite were conducted to determine an effective method of removing concentrations of longnose gar, Lepisosteus osseus, from the large coastal streams of North Carolina. A “suspended series” of charges was the most effective method tested. Charge of 3 sticks of dynamite, suspended at depth of 8 to 10 feet produced the best lethal range. Selective blasting with this method provided efficent removal of longnose gar. During one day's operation, over 3% tons of gar were removed while killing 8.3 pounds of game fish.

The Biology of Tilapia Nilotica Linneaus Studies concerning the reproductive behavior, spawning temperatures, fecundity, period of egg formation, food habits, and lower lethal temperatures of the exotic cichlid, Tilapia nilotiea, were conducted in aquaria and in earthen ponds at Auburn University, during the period of April 1959 to June 1960. These studies suggest that the spawning behavior of T. nilotiea is typical of that of many cichlids and consists of schooling by the females, territorial establishment by the males, an intricate prespawning courtship, spawning, and parental care by the female.

Observations on the Food Habits of the Flathead and Blue Catfish in Alabama In the Tombigbee, Alabama, and Tensaw Rivers, 34 flathead catfish (Pylodictis olivaris) and 152 blue catfish (lctalurus furcutus) were collected by use of telephone-magneto shockers for stomach analysis. Transition in feeding habits from invertebrates to major use of fish occurred in flathead catfish at approximately 10 inches total length, and in blue catfish through the inch groups 8-13. Feeding habits in the three rivers are compared. Data on lengths of catfish and foods eaten are presented. Bradford E. Brown, J. S. Dendy

Distribution and Abundance of Striped Bass (Roccus Saxatilis, Walbaum) on the Florida Gulf Coast Striped bass, Roccus saxatilis, (Walbaum), occurs in all major river systems along the Florida Gulf Coast from the Suwannee River west to the Perdido. The only striped bass population in West Florida known to spawn successfully was in the Apalachicola River Drainage. The population level for the other rivers was too low to maintain a sport fishery. The Apalachicola River stock of striped bass is discussed in detail.

The Minimum Oxygen Requirements of Five Species of Fish Under Quiescent Conditions The minimum oxygen requirements of the following five species of fish were studied under quiescent conditions. Lebistes reticulatus (Peters); Gambusia affinis (Baird and Girard); Pimephales promelas (Rafinesques); Hybognathus placitus (Girard); and Notropis girardi (Hubbs and Ortenburger). Nitrogen gas was bubbled through the waters in the test vessels to remove the dissolved oxygen. The fish were tested under varied temperatures and at different levels of oxygen depletion. All specimens tested were able to live at oxygen tensions of 1.0 ppm. Walter R. Whitworth, William H. Irwin

In some Georgia farm ponds a satisfactory phytoplankton growth is not produced following the application of normal amounts of fertilizer. Chemical investigations indicated a slightly acid condition and a low total hardness in these problem ponds. This condition was corrected by the addition of one ton per acre of agricultural lime or with varying amounts of hydrated lime added periodically. Phytoplankton production was definitely improved in over 100 Georgia farm ponds after the addition of lime. Willard W. Thomaston, Howard D. Zeller

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. James H. Stevenson, Andrew H. Hulsey

The Relative Resistance of Thirteen Species of Fishes to Petroleum Refinery Effluent Twelve species of fishes native to Oklahoma were each tested four times in a series of twenty bioassays, and the guppy was included in each bioassay as a reference. The 24-hour median tolerance limits (TLm's) were determined. The relative sensitivity of each species was established. In a 50/0 multiple range test, the species were grouped into the following six statistical populations: (1); (2); (3-5); (4-10); (5-12); and (6-13).

Sampling in the Adclaustral Zone of a Power Reservoir Spot checking the stratification pattern existing within a power reservoir generally consists of a single series of oxygen and temperature determinations taken vertically at the point of maximum depth. The point of maximum depth ordinarily is found immediately upstream from the impounding structure. Data secured from a series of observations in the John H.

The Use of Electrical Stimuli in Live·picking Organisms from Bottom Samples A simple, portable, and effective apparatus for electrically stimulating macrobenthos is described as a material aid for rapid picking of bottom samples in the field. Experience has demonstrated that the use of electrical stimulation not only shortens the time required, but it also results in recovering many organisms that otherwise would be overlooked.

Fishing Pressure and Success in Areas of Flooded Standing Timber in Bull Shoals Reservoir, Missouri In April, 1958, creel censuses on the White River Arm of Bull Shoals Reservoir, Missouri, were altered to permit separate tabulations of data from anglers who fished exclusively in three areas of flooded standing timber. The combined acreage of the timbered areas is 6.3 acres, or 0.26 per cent of the entire creel census area (2,380 acres). During 1959, nearly 15 per cent of all anglers counted were timber fishermen. Fishing pressure in that year amounted to 5,138 hours per acre in timbered areas, as compared to 97 hours per acre in the remainder of the census area.

Observations on the Culture of Flathead Catfish (Pylodictis Olivaris) Fry and Fingerlings in Troughs Flathead catfish fry were reared to fingerling size in troughs by starting them to feed on shrimp, and marine fish. Other foods that were subsequently eaten by fry and fingerlings included beef liver, spleen, eggyolk, cheese, canned dog food, canned salmon, and some dry cereal feed. The food was prepared by placing the meats in a blende, adding a small amount of water, and stirring until the food was “creamy” in texture. After approximately three weeks, the fish had increased in size so that they could consume the food passed through a food chopper.

Efficiency and Selectivity of Flag Gill Nets Fished In Lake Bistineau, Louisiana n order to determine the efficiency and selectivity of flag gill nets in catching game fish, experimental flag gill nets were fished in Lake Bistineau during the period March through August, 1956. Flag gill nets contain no lead line and are hung on a top line which contains no floats. The experimental nets used consisted of the following mesh sizes: 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.5 inch square mesh. For summary purposes the various species of fish were grouped into 3 types: (1) commercial fish (2) game fish and (3) other fish.

The Selectivity and Effectiveness of Bait and Snag Lines Fished in the Tva Lakes of Alabama A study of bait and snag lines was conducted in the TVA lakes of Alabama from December, 1958, through December, 1'959, to determine species composition of the catch, the effectiveness of bait and snag lines for taking fish and the effectiveness of various types of bait used on baited lines. Data were obtained by accompanying the fisherman as he removed the fish from his lines. Bait line catches were, by weight, 92 percent catfish and 4 percent buffalo and carp. Grasshoppers were the most effective bait used while threadfin shad were used on 47 percent of the baited hooks.

Commercial and Sport Fishing on Guntersville Lake During the Period of March 15-June 13, 1960 A census of sport and commercial fishermen was conducted on Guntersville Lake from March 15 through June 13, 1960. The objectives were to determine species composition of the catches, the types and extent of sport and commercial fishing, the interrelationship of sport and commercial fishing and the problems of each. The census included data on incomplete fishing trips of sport fishermen and complete fishing trips of commercial fishermen. Crappie were the fishing choice of 58 percent of the 1,654 sport fishermen and made up 69 percent of the catch by weight.
