Studies Of Gizzard Shad Reduction At Lake Beulah, Florida

Four experiments with 0.1 p.p.m. or less of 5 percent emulsified rotenone were conducted at Lake Beulah, Florida. Lake Beulah, an eighteen-acre lake with an average depth of 14.9 feet characteristically had a heavy plankton production. Estimated pounds of gizzard shad killed progressively declined during the four experiments although concentrations of rotenone were increased. The first kill was estimated at 23,455 pounds of shad; second kill, 7,976 pounds; third kill, 1,528 pounds; and fourth kill, 1,060 pounds. Small numbers of fish of other species were also killed.

Preliminary Investigations Of Chemical Soil And Water Relationships And Lime Treatment Of Soft Water In Georgia Farm Ponds

Preliminary Investigations Of Chemical Soil And Water Relationships And Lime Treatment Of Soft Water In Georgia Farm Ponds 0 By H. D. Zltllltr And A. B. Mon'l'go:mltry Georgia Game And Fish Commission Atlanta, Georgia Abstract A general classification of pond waters according to hydrogen ion and total hardness of calcium and magnesium is correlated with the major soil regions in the state. Specific correlation between Piedmont soils and Coastal Plain soils are apparent. Limited data is available on lime treatment of soft waters and relationships to fertilization programs.

An Evaluation Of Fish Population Studies By Florida Haul Seine

The technique of operation of the haul seine as traditionally used in the large fresh water bodies of Florida is discussed. Limiting factors inherent in the sampling device are enumerated and illustrated by seine catches from several lakes. Rotenone studies from some of these lakes are contrasted with the seine catches. The results of creel census studies in lakes extensively fished by sportsmen, by reflecting proportionate quantities of game fishes similar to quantities taken in the haul seine, are quoted as further validation for its use in qualitative population. sampling.

How Fish Population Surveys Should Be Reported

To facilitate the evaluation and use of population studies, reports should include: 1. A description of the area sampled, including the chemical classification and physical type of water, the type of bottom, depth of water, speed of movement and other information necessary to describe the environment from which the population came. 2. A description of the method of sampling employed in sufficient detail to enable the results to be evaluated and compared with results of other surveys. 3. Methods of measuring the results should be stated.

A Preliminary Report On The Comparative Testing Of Some Of The Newer Herbicides

A simple method for the comparative testing of herbicides for emergent weeds was developed and used over a three-year period to compare the effect of recently introduced herbicides with that obtained from the use of a 2,4-D ester in a fuel oil carrier.

The Selectivity And Effectiveness Of Certain Types Of Commercial Nets In The T. V. A. Lakes Of Alabama

From November, 1955, through May, 1956, trammel and riprap nets of 3-, 3.5- and 4-inch bar mesh and gill nets of 3- and 4-inch bar mesh were fished by resident commercial fishermen under the supervision of State Fisheries Biologists, in T. V. A. lakes of Alabama. A total of 10,425 fish which weighed 42,689 pounds was caught, of which 95.4 percent was rough fish. All of the nets were selective in taking rough fish. Whip set trammel nets were the most effective type of net fished, followed by fixed trammel, riprap anc~ gill nets.

Further Experiments With Tilapia Mossambica As A Pondfish

Ponds stocked April 30 with 80 Tilapia mossambica per acre and drained October 16 produced in the 170-day experiment 1,480.9 pounds tilapia per acre in a fertilized pond and 3,224 pounds per acre where feeding was added. Tilapia (1- to 2-inch) stocked into ponds June 13 reached 5 to 8 inches in size in 126 days. A 2.6-acre pond was stocked April 18-20 with 80 brood tilapia per acre. The pond was fertilized and the fish fed. Tilapia hatching in this pond grew large enough to provide fishing by August 1.

Final Report On Population Manipulation Studies In Three Kentucky Streams

Perhaps the most universal problem in many of Kentucky's streams, from the angler's viewpoint, is that of excessive numbers of rough fish in proportion to the numbers of game fish. This paper presents the findings of a Dingell-Johnson project that has been concerned since 1952 with the manipulation of populations in 3 streams typical of types found in the state. The upper 46 miles of North Fork River in Mason County and 12 miles of Whippoorwill Creek in Logan County were treated with 5-percent powdered rotenone in 1952 to eradicate their entire fish populations.

The Striped Bass Of The Santee-Cooper Reservoir

The continued spawning success of striped bass, Roccus saxatilis, within the reservoir during the past three years, in spite of greatly reduced lock operations, is evidence which heavily supports the resident hypothesis. Striped bass feed heavily upon mayfly nymphs during the spring months, but take clupeoid fish almost entirely for the remainder of the year. The results of a three-year creel census ending August 31, 1957, shows that the number of striped bass caught and the percent of the total catch which striped bass represents has approximately doubled for the past two years.

A Method Of Determining The Sex Of The Striped Bass (Roccus Saxatilis) (Walbaum)

A method is described for sexing striped bass through use of serrated jaw ear forceps. The instrument is used to extract gonads from dead fish in samples of commercial catches, without incurring damage to the fish which affects the market quality. The gonads are examined later in the laboratory and are identified as male or female. The technique has proven satisfactory in large scale sampling of commercial catches. This method also holds promise for use on other species of fish in which sex ratio studies are important.

Experimental Use Of Explosives On The Aucilla River

Seven charges of Nitromon Primer S were exploded at six stations on the Aucilla River. Results of three explosions, each consisting of ten pounds of explosive, at Station No. 1 killed at least 842 shortnose gar, 300 longnose gar and three channel catfish. The successive treatments at this station indicated a reduction of longnose gar in the area. More shortnose gar were destroyed in the third explosion than in the first and second. Variation occurred in the results at other stations. It was noted gar concentrations could be detected by their surfacing activity.

Food Habits Of Three Centrarchidae In Lake George, Florida

An investigation of the stomach contents of bluegill, black crappie, and redear sunfish was made from specimens collected during several months of 1948, 1949, and 1950, in Lake George, Florida. Major items found in stomachs of 432 large bluegills were: aquatic vegetation, crustacea, insecta, and fish eggs. Fifty-five stomachs from small bluegills contained, principally, Cladocera and Diptera larvae. Dorosoma petenensis vanhyningi (Weed) was the major food organism found in 145 black crappie.

Life History Of The Black Crappie Of Lakes Eustis And Harris, Florida

A study of the life history of the black crappie Pomoxis nigromaculatus (LeSueur), from Lakes Eustis and Harris, Florida, was made in 1952 and 1953. A comparison of the age composition of the individual and combined samples of 318 Lake Eustis and 403 Lake Harris black crappie showed a similarity existed between the two populations. The scale reading indicated few crappie reached ttte VIII group or older in Lake Eustis and few reached the VII group or older in Harris. Males and females showed only minor differences in growth.

Gizzard Shad Removal In Deer Island Lake, Florida

Results of four experiments on 5.5-acre Deer Island Lake demonstrated that selective poisoning was a practical method for reducing the gizzard shad population. Past haul seine efforts had effected only a temporary reduction in this lake. A concentration of 0.04 p.p.m. of 5 percent emulsified rotenone killed very few gizzard shad. A 0.1 p.p.m. concentration resulted in a conservatively calculated kill of 4,651 pounds or 846 pounds per surface acre. An application of 0.15 p.p.m. concentration killed larger shad as well as a few bass. A subsequent application of 0.1 p.p.m.
