Tilapia Aurea (Steindachner), A Rapidly Spreading Exotic In South Central Florida

Tilapia aurea were introduced into Florida by the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission in 1961. Original stocking was in managed pits at Pleasant Grove Research Station. From this beginning they have spread to numerous private ponds, four creeks, two rivers and several public lakes. Enriched bodies of water are preferred habitats and native species present have not retarded establishment of T. aurea. Most of the present study was conducted on Lake Parker, a 2291 acre eutrophic lake in Polk County. Surveys of the fish population on Parker revealed seasonal congregations of T.

Comparative Strength Of The 1966 Year Class Of Striped Bass, Roccus Saxatllls (Walbaum), In Three Virginia Rivers

The age composition, as determined from scale impressions, of striped bass stocks in the James, York, and Rappahannock Rivers during the period June 1967 - March 1968 indicates a relative deficiency of the 1966 year class in the James River. Similar results are shown in samples from non-selective gear (pound nets, fyke nets), selective gear (gill nets, haul seines, hook-and-line), and routine surveys using a 30-foot semi-balloon trawl.

Food Of Young-Of-The-Year Largemouth And Spotted Bass During The Filling Of Beaver Reservoir, Arkansas

Young-of-the-year largemouth, Micropterus salmoides (Lacepede), and spotted bass, M. punctulatus (Rafinesque), were collected period!cally from Beaver Reservoir during the growing seasons of 1964 and 1965. Scales were read to insure that all bass included in the study were young-of-the-year. Counts were made of the number of bass that had eaten a particu lar class of food rather than either how many or the volume of items eaten.

The Effects Of Overpopulation And Hunting On The Fort Knox Deer Herd

The Fort Knox Military Reservation began to show signs of overbrowsing eight years after stocking with white-tailed deer (Odicoileua virginianus). Data collected annually on the reservation's deer herd during the deer hunting season indicated a rapid decline of the deer's physical condition as the wintering population increased from 5,500 to 9,000 over the period 1962-1965 and the deer range became overpopulated. Average dressed weights of yearling bucks and fawns decreased 16-18% while those of yearling does decreased 11% from 1958-1965.

Seasonal Variation In Food Consumption And Weight Gain In Male And Female White-Tailed Deer

Feeding trials, in which ten white-tailed deer fawns, five bucks and five does, were fed a balanced ration, were conducted over an 18-month period. The commercially available ration which contained not less than 13.0 per cent protein or 2.0 percent crude fat and not more than 9.5 percent crude fiber or 4.8 percent minerals was fed ad libitum. Daily food consumption of each deer was recorded to the nearest ounce and weight of each deer was determined at weekly intervals to the nearest pound.

Evaluating The Deer Track Census Method Used In The Southeast

An evaluation of published work on the deer track count census method indicates the popularly used 1:1 relationship between tracks across roads and number of deer on an area can be neither rejected nor accepted. The day-to-day variability in deer track crossings usually requires a large number of consecutive counts to detect changes in populations. Procedures for determining the required number of counts are presented. A perennial problem confronting game technicians is that of obtaining an accurate population census of wildlife.

Drinking Habits Of White-Tailed Deer In South Texas

Daily and seasonal variations in drinking habits of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) were observed in the Coastal Bend area of Texas. Data were collected from February, 1961, to February, 1963, on the Welder Wildlife Refuge. Information regarding drinking behavior was collected by observing deer directly from observation towers located near lakes or water tanks and by making track counts on a cleared, 10-foot wide strip surrounding the water tanks. Both direct observations and track counts were made at all hours throughout the 24-hour period and at all seasons of the year.

Growth And Forage Quality Of Four Southern Browse Species

Rusty blackhaw (Viburnum rufidulum) , yaupon (!lex vomitoria), common greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia) , and yellow jessamine (Gelsemium sempervirens) are major sources of deer food in upland pinehardwood forests of the South. In the study reported here, the quality of forage on these plants was related to their rate of growth. Rusty blackhaw is a deciduous shrub; yaupon, an evergreen shrub; greenbrier, a deciduous vine; and yellow jessamine, an evergreen vine. The plants studied were growing near Nacogdoches in east-central Texas in a well-stocked pine-hardwood timber stand.

Reproductive Studies Of Some Alabama Deer Herds

White-tail deer (Odecoileus vi'1'Uinianus) were collected on twelve different areas of Alabama to obtain reproductive data. The earliest average conception date was December 4 for Black Warrior Management Area in north Alabama where there was some breeding as early as November 10. Latest average conception date was February 11 for Fred T. Stimpson Sanctuary in south Alabama where some breeding occurred as late as March 21. Conception dates are thought to be influenced by the genetic stock. Fetal sex ratios were nearly 60/50 on all areas.

One Successful Approach To Improving And Maintaining Public Hunting On Industrial Lands

It is recognized that there are a number of ways that industrial lands can be administered to develop the wildlife resources and at the same time provide a recreational opportunity for the public. Gulf States Paper explored a number of these possibilities and we fully realize what has worked successfully for us may not for other industries. The Corporation was founded in 1884, in Marseilles, Illinois, by Herbert Eugene Westervelt. After 44 years of growth and expansion the home office was established in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

A Brief Study Of Hunters And The Owners Of The Land On Which They Hunt

For 20 years or more, there has been concern about increasing hunting pressure and decreasing hunting land. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has attempted to lessen this problem and decrease surpluses of farm products at the same time by subsidizing conversion of agricultural land to recreation land. Recreation is booming. Boaters, fishermen and water skiiers are crowding lakes faster than the Corps of Engineers can build them. New bowling alleys were built in nearly every town of any size, and cowpastures are being turned into golf courses every month.

The Emerging Game Manager

Since we are entering an era of human management in the natural resources field in America, a game manager must emerge to meet the challenge of public relations in modern game management. He must have the natural ability, combined with professional training to manage people with one hand in order that they will permit hini to scientifically manage their wildlife resources with the other. A smooth working relationship must be constantly maintained with both his internal and external publics if he is to successfully mold their opinions and lead them in the cause of game management.
