The Incidence and Degree of Infection of Pneumostrongylus Tenuis in the White-Tailed Deer of Western Virginia

The incidence and degree of infection by P. tenuis was studied in western Virginia deer herds (Odocoileus virginianus). The objectives of the research were (1) to determine the distribution of pneumostrongylids in the white-tailed deer in seven western Virginia counties and (2) to correlate incidence and degree of infection by pneumostrongylids with deer age, sex, geographic location, and physical condition. Specimens were collected from Shenandoah, Augusta, Bath, Rockbridge, Botetourt, Giles, and Craig counties. Deer heads were obtained from hunters at check stations.

Observations on Control of Vegetation in Lake Catilerine Using Israeli Carp and a Fall and Winter Drawdown

Due to a combination of factors, Lake Catherine, a 3,000 - acre reservoir which had never known a vegetation problem, suddenly became congested with rooted aquatic vegetation in 1960. The vegetation, mostly coontail, Ceratophyllum demersum,and Elodea sp., could be controlled with chemicals and consequently various chemicals were used by the riparian property owners on small localized areas. However, for the larger, main body of the lake, chemical herbicides were considered too expensive to be practical.

Utilization of Casein and Soybean Protein by Channel Catfish, Lctalurus Punctatus (Rafinesque)

The growth rate data indicated that diets containing casein and the protein combination produced approximately equal growth and that both of these protein sources produced better growth than soybean protein alone. Fish receiving diets containing 30 per cent protein gained at a significantly higher rate than fish receiving diets containing five per cent protein. The relative order of growth rates for the three sources of protein was the same at both levels of protein in the diet.

Some Effects of Cultural Practices on Aquatic Environments and Native Fish Populations

Cultural practices which either contribute nutrient materials to the ecosystem or accelerate detrition by induced recirculation of nutrients within the system result in environmental changes which persist after the practices have been discontinued. The effects of environmental modification were found to be reflected in species structure of native fish populations. The percent of centrarchids within the total population was found to occur in direct proportion to the percent of productive bottom.

Electro Fishing, Using a Boat as the Negative

The use of an aluminum boat as the electrode on streams and rivers is quite simple and is as effective as the electrodes suspended from the side of a boat. This eliminates the need of any electrodes hanging over the side of the boat and allows the operator to work efficiently through trash and submerged obstaeles. It is necessary, if using direct current or pulsed direct current, to connect the negative lead to the aluminum hull of the boat instead of to the electrodes suspended on each side.

Estimation of Bass Numbers in a Farm Pond Prior to Draining with Electro-Shocking and Angling

The number of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) in a 3.5-acre experimenbal pond located at Auburn University Agricultural Experiment Station was estimated by mark and recovery techniques using both Schnabel and Peterson methods. Sampling was done wirth both electric shocker and angling. Estimates were made during two periods in 1962. Various estimates of the number of bass made in this study were fairly uniform. However, on draining the estimates were found to be in error by approximately 50 percent.

Bioassay of Industrial Pollution by Use of Masonite Plate Samplers Populated with Chironomids

Plate samplers constructed of VB-inch thick masonite were used in a bioassay study of water quality in the Black Warrior River near Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The samplers were placed in a fertilized pond and allowed to accumulate a dense population of larval chironomids (Chironomidae) for one month. The samplers were then placed into the river at stations above the outfall of the uppermost industry and below each outfall of four industries.

A Tag Comparison Study of Largemouth Bass in their Natural Environment

One thousand three hundred and forty-six largemouth bass were captured, tagged, and released in nineteen bodies of water throughout the State of Florida. Spaghetti, Petersen disc, and Monel metal strap tags were the principal tags employed. All fish caught by anglers were returned to the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission for information regarding growth rates of which negative data was obtained. Comparisons were made of the percent returns of each of the three tags represented, plus the Spaghetti tag was compared in two different locations on the fish.

Fisheries Technological Research in the Gulf of Mexico by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries

The research function at the Pascagoula Technological Laboratory is described. The staff, the equipment, and the microbiology and chemistry programs are briefly discussed. Biochemical studies of fish and shellfish are a major program at the laboratory. The deterioration of fresh iced shrimp was studied recently by following the increase in pH, analyzing the amino acid, hydroxyproline, and evaluating the variation in the nitrogen values of fractions eluted by different solvents. Microbiological studies accompanied the biochemical studies.

Some Effects of Endrin on Estuarine Fishes

Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the acute and chronic effects of endrin to estuarine fishes. Short-term bioassays in flowing seawater determined 24-hour LC50's for spot (Leiostomus xanthurus), mullet (Mugil cephalus), menhaden (Brevoortia patronus), longnose killifish (Fundulus similis), and sheepshead minnows (Cyprinodon variegatus). A population of spot was exposed continuously for eight months to a sublethal concentration (0.05 ppb.).

Rearing Penaeid Shrimp From Eggs to Postlarvae

A description is given of the physical f,acilities in which mass cultures of penaeids have been reared from eggs to postlarvae. The metal chelator EDTA was added to the water in which the shrimp were grown. Larvae of Penaeus aztecus developed more rapidly, at 30° C than at lower temperatures. Salinity varied from 20.5% to 36.0% during rearing trials in which P. aztecus Iarvae were reared to postIarvae. Addition of mixed, algal cultures ,as food g,ave better survival than additions of their individual components.

A Food Habit Study of the Spotted Seatrout, Cynoscion Nebulosus, in the Biloxi Marsh Area, Louisiana

The spotted seatrout, Cynoscion nebulosus, are found throughout the year in the Biloxi Marsh Area in southeastern Louisiana. A total of 368 stomachs were analyzed; 152 were empty. Fish occurred in 74.4 per cent of these stomachs and crustaceans in 25.3 per cent. During the summer months fish and crustaceans were comparable in per cent occurrence as food items. In this same period food availability samples showed that crustaceans had become more prevalent. This suggests a correlation of the food habits of the spotted seatrout to food availability.

Age and Growth of Blue Catfish, Ictalurus Furcatus (Lesueur), in the Recent Delta of the Mississippi River

Age and growth of blue catfish, Ictalurus furcatus (LeSueur), collected on Delta National Wildlife Refuge, Venice, Louisiana were determined by length frequency and the pectoml spine technique. Lengths calculated from p,ectoral spines agree with the length frequency mode for age I fish collected during January, 1965. Three regressions were computed for the data and the cubic equation provided the best fit. This equation indicated that weight increased faster than the cube of the length.

Reclamation of Pine Creek, Tennessee

Fish in Pine Creek, in DeKalb County, Tennessee, were eradicated with rotenone and brown trout were stocked in the stream. This management tool, stream reclamation, was evaluated by studying the growth rate of the brown trout, their condition, the rate at which other species of fish re-entered the stream, and the effect of the toxicant, rotenone, on the bottom fauna. Populations of bottom dwelling organisms were reduced from 34 to 100 per cent by the rotenone.

Summary of Fishery Management Activities on Lakes Eucha and Spavinaw, Oklahoma

The City of Tulsa, Oklahoma has long heen a proponent of the multiple-use concept of its water resources; including approximately 5,000 surface acres of impounded water. These waters are: Lake Eucha (2,880 surface acres), also known as Upper Spavinaw, DeIaware County, Oklahoma, Spavinaw Lake (1,637 surface acres) , Mayes County, Oklahoma, and Lake Yahola (425 surface acres) Tulsa County, Oklahoma (J.ackson, 1957). The fishery management program on the Spavinaw Lakes was initiated by A. D. "Bob" Aldrich in 1949 and has been expanded and continuous for a period of sixteen years.

Aging and Growth of Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, and Redear Sunfish from Louisiana Ponds of Known Stocking History

Scales of largemouth bass taken from two ponds at Baton Rouge, Louisiana over a three-year period agreed closely with the known past stocking history on these fish. Largemouth bass scales from a 50-acre pond at Clinton, Louisiana indicated agreement with the six years fish had been stocked. Total length growth rates of bass were increased by controlled fall drawdown; however, prolonged summer droughts decreased total length growth and condition factors.

Movement of Native and Stocked Fish in D'Arbonne Lake after Impoundment

A total of 3,174 native fish of 29 species was tagged and released in Bayou D'Arbonne during the spring and summer of 1963. The distance and direction of movement of captured fish were recorded before inundation and ag,ain ,after the flooding of the 15,000-acre impoundment, D'Arbonne Lake, in January 1964. Of the 57 tagged fish returned before inundation, 54 were recaptured in the same locaJtion. One fish moved upstream for a distance of 3.3 miles and two fish moved downstream for ,an ,average distance of 6.8 miles.

Preliminary Experiments in the Artificial Propagation of Striped Bass, Roccus Saxatilis

Adult striped bass purchased from commercial fishermen on Albemarle Sound, N. C. were transported to the Fayetteville and Weldon Hatcheries, injected with hormones,and spawned. In addition to ripe fish brought into the Weldon Hatchery by fishermen, sexually mature striped bass were obtained from the Roanoke River by electro-fishing gear. These fish, like those from Albemarle Sound, were injected with hormones, held in glass-front plywood aquaria (32" x 24" x 16"), and spawned. Excellent hatches were obtained from these eggs.

Culture of Striped Bass

Prolarvae striped bass Roccus saxatilis (Walbaum) were brought to Oklahoma for experimental rearing in culture ponds. Postlarvae were stocked in ponds which were rich in plankton and later fed 246.5 pounds of prepared foods. Samples were taken periodically for detailed examination of growth and food habits. A preliminary examination indicated that prepared foods were utilized by these fish. The ponds were stocked with adult Tilapia and no small individuals of this species were found at the time of draining.

Sock Filters for Screening Fish

Several water filters constructed of Saran cloth of different porosities were tested for efficiency in filtering undesirable firsh from hatchery pond water supplies. A cloth filter bag, attached to pond water supply pipes, gave promising results. Thirteen ponds tested with these filters were free of wild fish (fish not stocked in test ponds by hatchery personnel) af,ter periods ranging from four to 29 weeks. The remaining four test ponds contained a total of 16 wild fish. Control ponds were heavily infested with wild fish species introduced through the water supply.
