Preliminary Studies on the Effect of Dynamiting Fish Populations

During 1963 a series of experiments was conducted to determine the effect of dynamite on fish populations. One set of these experiments consisted of placing various species of fish in cylindrical wire baskets which were suspended vertically in water ranging from six to 15 feet in depth. A dynamite charge, consisting of one stick of 60% ditching dynamite, was placed at a point 10 feet from the nearest line of baskets and was detonated.

Preliminary Attempts to Increase Midges (Tendipedidae-Diptera) in Hatchery Ponds

In a food-habits study of young largemouth bass at the National Fish Hatchery, Marion, Alabama, midges were found to comprise 80 to 90 percent of the total food volume in fish from 25 to 55 millimeters in length. Since midges were found to be such an abundant food item in the diet of these fish, attempts were made to increase the midge crop by providing additional surface area in the pond for attachment. It was found that ponds having a dominant blue-green algae bloom (Anacystis spp.

The Effect of Formulation Differences on the Toxicity of Benzene Hexachloride to Golden Shiners

Emulsifiable oil preparations of benzene hexachloride were found to be 25 times more toxic to golden shiners than wettable powder formulations containing the same level of gamma isomer. Tests of the individual components of the oil preparation other than the pesticide indicated that none of these was toxic to fish at the levels normally applied. The addition of a hydrocarbon solvent to a formulation increased the toxicity many times. No difference was noted in the toxicity of the active ingredient used in the various formulations.

The Penetration of Light and the Concentration of Dissolved Oxygen in Fertilized Pond Waters Infested with Microcystis

Weekly measurements were made of light intensity, dissolved oxygen concentration, and water temperature at selected depths in five earthen experimental ponds. Measurements were made on a given pond on the same day between 7:00 a.m. and 8:45 a.m. and again between 10:00 a.m. and 11 :45 a.m. The depth at which the average light intensity, as measured with submersible Weston Photronic photoelectric cells, was less than 1 per cent incident radiation varied from 2.5 to 7.5 feet among the ponds, depending on the degree of Microcystis infestation.

Distribution and Abundance of Postlarval and Early Juvenile Stages of the Brown Shrimp in Galveston Bay, Texas

The early life history of the brown shrimp (Penaeus aztecus Ives) in Galveston Bay was investigated during 1963 and 1964. Postlarvae, after entering from the Gulf, were most abundant in the channels and deeper waters as they moved into the upper reaches of the estuary. In each season of study, they were observed to spread throughout the estuary and become concentrated in surrounding marshes and bayous within about 2 weeks of first entry.

Biological Control of a Trematode Parasite of Bluegill

An investigation was begun July 1, 1962 to determine the potential of snails infected with cercariae of Posthodiplostomum minimum to produce infection in bluegills, Lepomis macrochirus. Infected snails, in aluminum wire baskets, were stocked into plastic-lined pools at rates of 1 or 5 per pool. Bluegills of 2 sizes, 1-inch or 3-inch, were stocked into the pools. All bluegills were exposed to cercariae for 24 days at which time the experiment was terminated. One month later counts were made of the parasites found in each fish.

An Attempt to Improve Stream Fishing by Manipulating the Lakes in the Stream Basin

In the summer of 1963, 18 of the 21 old river lakes in the Saline River basin, comprising 168 acres, were completely eradicated using rotenone. These lakes were subsequently overstocked with game fishes from our state-owned hatcheries. The theory being that fish from crowded populations will emigrate during overflow periods, providing desirable fish as stocks for the river. These fish were stocked early enough in the year to allow them to grow to sub-adults and to become acclaimed by the time of the first flood water.

A Final Report on the Use of Hormones to Ovulate Striped Bass, Roccus saxatilis (Walbaum)

During the 1964 striped bass spawning season, 383 female striped bass were treated with hormones at the Moncks Corner Striped Bass Hatchery and 337 (88%) were induced to ovulate as a result of the treatment. Three hundred and seventeen of the successful females were spawned in the hatchery for a yied of 322 million eggs and a hatch of 100 million fry. Chorionic gonadotropin was the most successful hormone used. Approximately 60 million fry were stocked in the Wateree Reservoir, a 13,710 acre impoundment, and early seining results indicate a significant survival.

A Report on the Use of Karmex to Control Filamentous Algae in Fish Ponds

Several chemicals that have been used in fish culture for the control of filamentous algae are discussed. Their effects on fish and fishfood organisms in ponds are reviewed. Results obtained from applications of Karmex to 26 ponds are presented. Data show that Karmax was effective against several forms of filamentous algae at rates above one-half pound per surface acre. Rates up to three pounds per surface acre had no adverse effects on fish or fish-food organisms.

A Dynamite Sampling Study on the Hiwassee and Ocoee Rivers in East Tennessee

In the winter of 1960 and 1961 the Tennessee Game and Fish Commission received reports that fish kills had occurred on the Hiwassee River. During the month of March, 1961 a study was developed on the Hiwassee and Ocoee Rivers to determine the fish population and to locate as accurately as possible the area or areas of adverse conditions relative to fish survival. Six stations were selected in cooperation with the Tennessee Stream Pollution Control Board. Due to the large volume of water the percussion method was employed as a sampling technique.

A Preliminary Report of Sexual Development of Fishes in Biloxi Marsh, Louisiana

The investigation of the spawning habits of fishes in the Biloxi Marsh is one of the phases of Project F-8-R. Only those fishes regarded as game species are included in this spawning study-since those which comprise the group known as rough fish are of no significant value to this area as an attraction to sportsmen. The gonad conditions of Spotted seatrout, Atlantic croakers, and Red drum are examined at intervals of three weeks. A 200-yard trammel net is the method used to acquire the fish for this research.

A Three-Year Study on the Effects of Lime Applications on the Standing Crop of Benthic Organisms in Georgia Farm Ponds

Six Georgia farm ponds, three on sandy soils and three on clay soils, were observed during a 32-month study period to determine the quantitative production of benthic organisms in relation to applications of agricultural lime. Three of the ponds were treated with lime at the rate of one ton per acre. The remaining three ponds were maintained as controls. Water total hardness in the experimental ponds increased significantly during the first year after treatment and began to drop during the third year, although it remained at a level higher than that observed before treatment.
