Life History Studies Of The Alabama Shad, Alosa Alabamae, In The Apalachicola River, Florida Since information on the biology of the Alabama shad, Alosa alabamae, of the Gulf coast of the United States is almost nonexistent, a study was initiated in February, 1966. Adult shad were collected on their spawning run in the Apalachicola River system, Florida, from February to April. Interpretation of the scale structure indicated that four age classes were represented. A few one-year-old males (average 10.6 inches TL) were in evidence in the latter part of the run.

Cost Analyses Of Sport Fishing In Commercial Catfish Ponds Fishermen were interviewed as they fished for catfish and largemouth bass in pond S-1 (22 acres) and pond S-7 (2.5 acres) of the Auburn University Fisheries Research Unit to determine selected expenditures per trip. From September 15 to December 5, 1965 and from March 16 to June 16, 1966, 13,528 people fished, of which 1,434 were interviewed. In addition to the $1.00 pond permit fee, fishermen spent $1.25 per trip for travel and $0.89 per trip for bait and equipment. Average round trip distance traveled per fisherman was 34.5 miles.

The Effect Of Rotenone On Certain Fish Food Organisms While all four fish food organisms (damselfly nymphs, dragonfly nymphs, mayfly nymphs, and caddisfly larvae) were killed by various rotenone concentrations, dragonfly nymphs had the greatest resistance and caddisfly larvae the least. Concentrations of rotenone currently being used in fish eradication would not effect the populations of the test organisms except that a very slight reduction in the caddisfly larvae population might result from the higher concentrations that are sometimes used.

The Food Habits Of Channel Catfish In South Florida Since channel catfish, Ictalwrus punctatus, were being considered as a possible predator for the control of forage fish in Florida lakes, a study of their food habits was conducted. An examination was made of the stomachs of 195 channel catfish collected in Lake Okeechobee, Lake Blue Cypress, and Lake Agnes, with trammel nets. The size range of fish examined was eight to 30 inches in total length. The major food items were insects, crustaceans, and fish. Data is presented according to the frequency of occurrence and number of food items contained in the stomachs.

Food Of The Black Bullhead (Ictalurus Melas) In A New Reservoir Stomach contents of black bullheads (Ictalurus melas) collected from inshore areas of newly impounded Beaver Reservoir by electroshocker revealed distinct differences in diet between periods of relatively stable water levels and rapidly rising water level. During stable water level periods, Entomostraca formed 72 percent of the volume of food of young-of-the-year bullheads (<4 inches, total length). Filamentous algae, organic detritus and crayfish made up 94 percent of the food volume found in 4.0-11.3-inch bullheads collected during these periods.

Preliminary Observations On Supplementary Feeding Of Pond Fishes The food cycle of bluegill and redbreast sunfish was short circuited by direct feeding of dry pellets in an attempt to increase the productivity of small lakes. Automatic fish feeders were constructed and installed in an experimental lake and were programmed to feed specific amounts of Purina Trout Chow at regular intervals. This paper deals with the construction of the automatic feeder and preliminary observations on the growth rate of bluegill and redbreast sunfish.

Temperature Tolerance Of The Peacock Bass And A Pond Test Of Its Value As A Piscivorous Species Since the introduction of the peacock bass, Cichla sp., into Florida in 1964, several southeastern states have considered introducing it as a new piscivorous game species. Tests show that fingerling peacock bass die at temperatures below 61°F., and, therefore, they would be unsuitable for introduction outside of tropical areas unless overwintered indoors or in heated water. In one pond stocked with 108 peacock bass per acre, tilapia, and fathead minnows, the peacock bass appeared to be a less effective predator than the largemouth bass when stocked under similar conditions.

Experiments were conducted in three ponds and nine plastic swimming pools to determine the variation in growth rate of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) during their first year of life. Known-age fish were obtained from artificially stripped and fertilized eggs and from the nest of one pair of largemouth bass. The fry were stocked into pools or ponds. Fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) were stocked into three ponds and four large plastic pools as brood fish to provide offspring as forage for the bass which were added later.

Stomach Analysis Of Chain Pickerel (Esox Niger) Of South Central Florida Alabama surveys indicate that the chain pickerel is undesirable because it preyed on harvestable species (1954, Annual Report Farm Ponds Project,. Auburn University, unpublished). An examination of pickerel stomach contents was conducted in South Central Florida to explore possibilities of using pickerel as a desirable predator. Specimens were collected from anglers, trammel nets, and electro-shocking. One hundred fifteen adult pickerel collected from seven lakes, Pierce, Francis, June in Winter, Henry, Kissimmee, Hatchineha, and Walk 'n Water, were examined.

Premature Egg Procurement From Striped Bass Striped bass were successfully ovulated in Albemarle Sound, North Carolina some 150 miles from their natural spawning grounds and about one month before their normal spawning time. Brood fish were purchased from commercial fishermen, consequently the eggs so obtained were salvaged out of a sacrificial situation. The fish were collected from pound nets following narcosis by electric shock; the narcosis being maintained by the addition of Quinaldine to the water in the boat holding tank until the female fish had been injected with human chorionic gonadotropin at the egg taking station.

Pond Water For Rearing Striped Bass Fry, Roccus Saxatilis (Walbaum), In Aquaria Fry striped bass, Roccus saxatilis (Walbaum)" were hatched at the Weldon, North Carolina State Fish Hatchery from eggs obtained from hormone-injected females collected from commercial pound nets in Albemarle Sound, North Carolina. The fry were packaged when two and three days old in conventional square (15" x 15" x 22") plastic bags with an oxygen atmosphere and shipped to Arkansas by airplane in insulated containers. Two hundred thousand (200,000) fry were held in each of two 58-gallon aquaria at the Joe Hogan State Fish Hatchery, Lonoke, Arkansas, for six days.

Preliminary Report On Methods For Rearing Striped Bass, Roccus Saxatilis (Walbaum), Fingerlings Striped bass, Roccus saxatilis (Walbaum), fingerlings were stocked in five ponds, three sections of a water control canal, and 14 metal troughs. In trough experiments Purina Trout Chow was found not to contain all nutrients needed for rapid growth of fingerling striped bass. Pond experiments indicated that fathead minnows are among the preferred forage species. Mortality among trough-reared fish was 14.7 percent. Over a 16-week period, increases in total length averaged 70.6 mm for fish reared in troughs and 54.9 mm for fish in a fed pond.

Preliminary Observations On The Establishment Of A Reservoir Trout Fishery A sport fishery for rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) was created in the lower one-third of a 38,000-acre Oligotrophic reservoir. Maximum temperatures of 70° F. and a minimum of 3 p.p.m. oxygen were evaluated as criteria for establishing this "two-story" fishery. Stockings of 8 - 10-inch trout were made in the winter months and weight gains were up to threefold in a six-month period. Food utilized by the trout was primarily the threadfin shad (Dorosoma petenense).

Distribution And Abundance Of The Centrarchids In The Recent Delta Of The Mississippi River Distribution and abundance of eight centrarchid fishes were studied on Delta National Wildlife Refuge from August, 1963 through January, 1965. Gear used to collect the fish included rotenone, gill nets, trammel nets, bag seine, minnow seine and electric shocker. Standing crop samples were conducted using rotenone and block-off nets. Salinity was a major factor which limited distribution of centrarchids on the refuge. Pond depth and turbidity were also factors affecting distribution and abundance.

Effects Of Hydrogen Sulfide On Channel Catfish (Ictalurus Punctatus) The natural production of sulfides is responsible for poor channel catfish production in many acid lakes in Northeast Texas. The TLm of un-ionized hydrogen sulfide for channel catfish fry ranged from 0.8 ppm at pH of 6.8 to 0.53 at pH 7.8. At pH 7.0 the TLm of this gas is 1.0 ppm for fingerling catfish, 1.3 for advanced fingerlings and 1.4 for adult channel catfish. Small fish were also killed quicker when exposed to these concentrations. Maximum concentrations of hydrogen sulfide are produced in the spring.

Investigations In The Use Of Electricity For Thinning Overcrowded Populations Of Bluegill A 230-volt, 180-cycle alternating current; a 115-volt, 60-cycle alternating current and a 115-volt direct current were used to attempt to kill intermediate-size bluegill, Lepomis macrochirus, Rafinesque, without harming largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides (Lacepede). Bluegill and largemouth bass were placed in screen pens in concrete ponds and exposed to different voltages, electrode types and exposure periods. No largemouth bass were killed during exposure periods which killed 75 percent of the bluegill. The 230 volts killed more bluegill than 115 volts A.C. or 115 volts D.C.

Use Of The Red Crawfish, Procambarus Clarki (Girard), For Herbicidal Assays Bioassays were conducted on two herbicides, potassium azide and sodium azide, using the red crawfish, Procambarus clarki, and bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus, as test animals. These chemicals proved to be more toxic to crawfish than to fish. Comparisons are made of laboratory toxicity values and field tests conducted in rice fields. Recommended techniques for crawfish bioassays are described.

Evaluation Of Rotenone Sampling With Scuba Gear Eleven rotenone studies were evaluated with SCUBA gear between 1961-1964 to determine the numbers and weights of fish that do not float to the surface and are not recovered. It was determined that 74% of the number and 95% of the weight of all fishes present in the sample area were recovered on the surface within a 52-hour period. Fingerling fishes represented 91% of the unrecovered population by numbers; intermediates, 6%; and harvestable-size fish, 3%.

Photographic prints were made of scales taken from largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides Lacepede) and bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus Rafinesque) of known ages by the use of a micro-projection machine. The image of each scale was projected directly upon photographic paper to produce, upon development, a permanent negative print. In an examination of the prints of 272 largemouth bass scales, 80.1 percent were aged correctly when the ages were unknown to the technician.

Tranquilizing Techniques for Capturing Deer Improvements were made in existing techniques for capturing and handling deer with the oval tranquilizing agent Tranimul. One hundred twelve wild deer were captured. Of these, 99 were transported away from the capture sites. Sika deer (Cervus nippon) and fallow deer (Dama dama) reacted to treatment very much like the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Site selection, pre-baiting, treatment rates and application of drug to bait are discussed. Recommendations are made relative to bait trays, capture nets and tying straps.
