Utilization Of Anhydrous Ammonia In Fisheries Management This study completes a segment of a project to evaluate the use of anhydrous ammonia as a fisheries management technique in small impoundments. Objectives were to determine the feasibility of using anhydrous ammonia for fish eradication, for pond fertilization, and for vegetation control. Treatments in 15 pounds in Central Texas indicate that anhydrous ammonia fulfills these objectives. Anhydrous ammonia was selected because of known toxicity to fishes and because ammonia is a naturally occurring compound.

A Survey Of The Commercial Fishery On Four Oklahoma Reservoirs The commercial fishery on four Oklahoma lakes (Eufaula, Gibson, Grand and Texoma) from which approximately 85 percent of the total state commercial harvest is landed was studied from July 1967 through June 1968. Thirty to forty-eight fishermen fished gill and trammel nets throughout the study period. Legal restrictions limited gear to 3 inch and larger bar mesh. The amount of fishing effort expended by mesh size and lakes was studied. Approximately 70 percent of the total effort was fished with 3 and 3% inch bar-mesh nets.

Bluegill and redbreast populations were sampled by electric shocking techniques from two normal areas and an area affected by the heated discharge of a power generation plant at Lake Sinclair, Georgia. Growth of the fish was derived by the Lea method from measurements of the distance between the last formed annulus to the edge of the scale. By comparison of the study areas, temperature was found not to be the controlling factor of bluegill and redbreast growth in the discharge area.

Pool Fluctuation In Corps Impoundments In Relation To Fish Spawning Each spring and early summer the Corps of Engineers and the associated conservation agencies of the various states work together to program and operate the Corps' reservoir levels so that a minimal alteration of environment will occur during the spawning period of game fish in these reservoirs. The demands of flood control, navigation, hydro-electric power and fisheries resources must be coordinated to produce a condition in which these varied interests are working together to produce the required results to the benefit of all.

Preliminary Results From Striped Bass Tagging In Virginia, 1968-1969 A total of 8525 striped bass, Morone saxatilis (Walbaum), were tagged and released in Virginia during 1968 and 1969. Releases were grouped in three periods: (1) 3195 in winter 1968, (2) 2439 during summer-fall 1968; and (3) 2891 in winter 1969. Streamer disc tags, employed in winter 1968, were subsequently replaced by internal anchor tags (Floy Tag No. FD-67). This substitution shortened application time and eliminated a source of bias intrOduced by the entanglement of disc tags in gill nets. Releases were made in the James, York, and Rappahannock rivers in all three periods.

Experimental culture of striped bass in Oklahoma State Fish Hatcheries was initiated in 1965. This work has resulted in several procedural guidelines which will enable the successful production of striped bass. The application of these guidelines to production on Oklahoma's antiquated State Fish Hatchery System is discussed.

Notes On The Trout Fishery Of Hidden Valley Lake, A Cold Water Impoundment, In Southwest Virginia Hidden Valley Lake is an acid water, shallow trout impoundment located in southwest Virginia at an elevation of approximately 3,600 feet above sea level. Renovation of the dam and outlet structures and fish management procedures are discussed. Subsurface water temperatures and dissolved oxygen values were obtained during the summers of 1965 and 1966. These are discussed in relation to an aeration system installed during the fall of 1965.

Procedure In Taking Stream Bottom Samples With The Stream Square Foot Bottom Sampler A detailed description of the procedure used in taking stream bottom samples follows a description of the stream square foot bottom sampler, which, although pictured in a publication by the author in 1937, was not described in detail in any publication. One of the principal problems in retrieving bottom animals from samples is getting them quickly from the gravel without damaging them. Large stones in the sample area are removed first and placed in a pail half-filled with water. The contents of the net are also emptied carefully into the same pail.

Culture Of Blue, Channel And White Catfish In Brackish Water Ponds Brackish water pond studies were conducted in coastal Southwest Louisiana with blue, lctalurus furcatus, channel, lctalurus punctatus, and white catfish, lctalurus catus, to determine if these freshwater species could be cultured in saline ponds. The channel and white catfish proved to be the most rapid growing and the most hardy, averaging 0.80 and 0.70 pounds. The blue catfish averaged 0.6 pound. The channel catfish had the lowest S-value of 2.3, the white catfish had a S-value of 2.9 and the blue catfish had as-value of 4.0.

Changes In Pond Bottom Soils During The Initial Five Years Of Use Bottom soil samples were taken after each draining during a five-year period from a series of 12 small earthen ponds ranging in size from 0.70 to 1.39 acres. Except in one pond, drainings occurred one or more times annually. The ponds were used to produce one or more crops of fingerling fish each year. Species cultured were largemouth bass, bluegill, channel catfish and redeal' sunfish. Chemical analyses for pH, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, carbon and nitrogen were done on each sample.

The effects of soil and water hardness on growth and survival of red swamp crawfish, Procambarus clarki, were studied in plastic pools. Pools had no soil or Calhoun soil, with water hardnesses adjusted with calcium chloride to 9, 50, 100 or 150 parts per million, or pools had Sharkey soil with water hardnesses of 50, 100, 150 or 200 ppm. Water hardness was the most significant factor affecting growth and survival of crawfish. As water hardness increased, so did the mean weight gain and per cent survival.

Biological and chemical-physical data were obtained from burrows of the red swamp crawfish, Procambarus clarki, and the adjacent ponds and ditch during the burrowing period. Burrows constructed by mature and immature crawfish were of the same general pattern. Burrows usually consisted of an undulating downward channel, varying in depth, devoid of a connection with the adjacent pond or ditch. The tunnel was covered by a chimney or mud plug at the top and was enlarged at its deepest part into a chamber.

Florida has comparatively few species of large predatory freshwater fishes. Many lakes of the state have an abundance of forage fishes. Therefore, niches may be available for additional desirable predatory species. As far as I know, there is no record of walleye (Stizostedion vitreum) occurring naturally as far south as peninsular Florida. People not familiar with walleye may have the mistaken impression they require cold, deep water. If this were so, an attempt to introduce them into Florida would be absurd.

A Study Of Nesting Turkeys In Southern Florida1 Thirty-five turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) hens were instrumented with miniature animal tracking transmitters on a study area in March 1968. Twenty nests were found by directional radio location fixes and one nest was found incidentally. Average clutch size was 9.6 eggs per nest in fourteen nests which were observed after incubation began. Eight nests produced 70 poults from 76 eggs. The other nests failed to hatch because of predation or abandonment due to human disturbance associated with the study.

A Telemetric Study Of Deer Home Ranges And Behavior Of Deer During Managed Huntsl The home ranges of five white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) were determined on the Clark Hill Wildlife Management Area using telemetric equipment. The population density of deer on the 800 acres study area was estimated to be 50-55 deer per square mile (1 deer/12 acres) prior to the managed hunts in 1967. A six year old doe, radio-tracked from April 4, to May 9, 1967, had a home range of 121 acres. The same animal was tracked from October 12, to October 25, 1967, and had a home range area of 87 acres.

Pothole Blasting In Maryland Wetlands Approximately 90 potholes were blasted with ammonium nitrate and fuel oil mixtures on a fresh marsh and a saline marsh in the Chesapeake Bay area of Maryland. Work covered a 3-year period in fresh marshes and one growing season in saline marshes. Number of ANFO charges used per pothole ranged from 1-15 varying in gross amounts per pothole from 20-415 Ibs. Detonation was by dynamite using either primacord, cap and fuse or electric caps. Depth of charge holes varied from 8-36 inches.

Specimens of various game species from Virginia, North Carolina. South Carolina, Georgia. Alabama, and Florida were analyzed for all gamma ray emitting radioisotopes by gamma ray spectrometry methods in a whole body counter. It was possible to determine radionuclide concentrations in the field with relatively simple gamma ray detecting equipment. The most important isotope was Cesium-137. Specimens from the Mountain. Piedmont. and Upper Coastal Plain regions were generally low; those from the Lower Coastal Plain region had significantly higher cOncentrations.

Diazepam And Alpha-Chloralose Mixtures To Capture Waterfowl Various mixtures of diazepam and alpha-chloralose were tested on waterfoWl in Florida and Maryland by Oral administration on baits. A total of 3 233 waterfowl of a variety of species was anesthetized sufficiently to be captured. All mixtures which were tested reacted faster, and we believe more safely than did either of the two compounds separately. Several species were captured simultaneously at the same bait stations. Reactions to winter-spring capture versus fall capture revealed seasonal differences in physiological effects of the drugs.

The Economics Of Virginia's Deer Transplantation Program Since 1930 Virginia has either purchased deer for restocking or has carried out transplantation programs in various sections of the state. In 1967-68, detailed records of costs of a transplantation program indicate the average cost per head for white-tailed deer captured by box trap to be $51.68. This trapping program was initiated to, (1) alleviate an over population, (2) determine if malnutrition was evident, and (3) fill the demand for brood stock in under populated areas.
