Black Bear Harvest and Nuisance Behavior in Response to Gypsy Moth Infestation Yearly food supplies influence black bear (Ursus americanus) harvest and nuisance behavior. During 1987-1990, gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) infestation in northwestern Virginia, especially in Shenandoah National Park (SNP), resulted in widespread defoliation, acorn failure, and subsequent alterations in bear behavior. We believed canopy opening and especially acorn failure would lead to increased hunter harvest and nuisance behavior in defoliated regions of Virginia. John W. Kasbohm, M. R. Vaughan, J. G. Kraus

Distribution of Black Bears in the Southeastern Coastal Plain Black bear (Ursus americanus) distribution and habitat quantities were estimated for the Coastal Plain region of the southeastern United States. Bears are imperiled in the southeastern Coastal Plain primarily because of habitat loss. Accordingly, this paper focuses on bear habitat in the region. Resident bear populations are scattered across the Coastal Plain. They occupy an estimated 67,791 km2. The current distribution, a consequence of habitat loss, represents a 93% range reduction from historic levels. John B. Wooding, J. A. Cox, M. R. Pelton

Developing black bear (Ursus americanus) conservation strategies for the southeastern United States is critical because of increasing habitat fragmentation. Ecological and demographic data collected from a black bear population in Great Dismal Swamp has provided insight into development of these strategies. One strategy is maintaining large, contiguous forest tracts with minimal human disturbance. Identification, maintenance, and enhancement of key habitat patches, such as pocosins and mesic islands, also are important. Eric C. Hellgren, M. R. Vaughan

A map of land cover derived from Landsat Thematic Mapper data was used to quantify land cover characteristics around Florida Breeding Bird Survey Routes. Abundances of 54 species of birds were compared with land cover characteristics. Approximately 15 species showed biologically meaningful correlations, and in some cases the variation explained by land cover characteristics was quite large (e.g., >40%). There were also several anomalous correlations.

Diet of the Common Barn-owl in East-central Georgia We investigated the contents of 590 common barn-owl (Tyto albapranticola) pellets from 5 locations in the Georgia Piedmont and 1 in the Upper Coastal Plain. Five genera of rodents, 4 insectivores, 1 lagomorph, and at least 2 bird species were identified in the pellets. Hispid cotton rats (Sigmodon hispidus) predominated in pellets at the Piedmont sites while least shrews (Cryptotisparva) were the most abundant prey species in pellets at the Coastal Plain site.

Seed Preferences of Nongame Birds in the Rio Grande Valley Feeding stations were established on a ranch in south Texas to determine seasonal seed preferences of visiting bird species. Seed preferences varied seasonally for most birds with black-oil sunflower, cracked corn, and milo accounting for the majority of seed consumed and for the greatest number of bird species attracted. If more than 1 type of seed is offered, then several feeders should be used to avoid competition between species and reduce wasted seeds.

We conducted extensive pitfall trapping surveys for soricids in the Blue Ridge and upper Piedmont portions of the Chattahoochee National Forest in northern Georgia from 3 July 1993 to 3 January 1994. In 76,103 trapnights, we collected 1,456 specimens representing 15 species. Survey efforts resulted in establishing the southernmost North American collection localities for Sorex cinereus, S. fumeus, S. hoyi, Clethrionomys gapperi, and Peromyscus maniculatus. Sorex cinereus and C. gapperi are restricted to high elevation, mesic forest communities in the Blue Ridge, while S. William M. Ford, J. Laerm, D. C. Weinand, K. G. Barker

The composition and diversity of redeveloping plant communities, along with associated small mammal and bird communities, were compared on hexazinone and mechanically-prepared sites at 2, 3, and 5 years post-treatment. Diversity of herbaceous vegetation was higher on the mechanically-prepared sites at 5 years post-treatment, while the diversity of woody vegetation did not differ in any of the age classes. Small mammals were sampled by removal trapping and birds by circular census plots. William E. O'Connel, K. V. Miller

The Status of Nuisance Wildlife Policy in the United States The need for Nuisance Wildlife Control (NWC) is changing with the increase in urban population in the United States. A survey of the states and territories of the United States in regard to NWC was assessed. A comprehensive model emerged for a system of private operators. The key elements are education, administrative oversight, sensitivity to animal welfare and human needs, and development of private enterprise while maintaining wildlife agency control. T. J. Brammer, P. T. Bromley, R. Wilson

Evaluation of Techniques for Initial Restoration of Ocelot Habitat As a result of agricultural, urban, and industrial development of native thorn-shrub communities in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, < 1% of south Texas supports habitat for the endangered ocelot (Felis pardalis). We evaluated techniques that could facilitate restoration of ocelot habitat. Texas ebony (Pithecellobium flexicaule), granjeno (Celtis pallidd), lotebush (Ziziphus obtusifolia), and whitebrush (Aloysia gratissima) seedlings were planted in 3 4-ha plots at Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, Cameron County, Texas.

Status Survey for the Greensboro Burrowing Crayfish A survey in North Carolina was undertaken to determine the distribution and relative abundance of the Greensboro burrowing crayfish (Cambarus catagius). Public input was solicited for search locations and a methodology was devised to capture the species. The species was collected at 16 locations in North Carolina from Greensboro to Lexington and southeast to the Uwharrie National Forest. Many other observational data on the species, its habitat, and its relative abundance were also collected.

Nondestructive Quantitative Sampling for Freshwater Mussels in Variable Substrate Streams Unionid mussels were sampled in the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River, Tennessee and Kentucky, from July to October 1988 with a chain grid of 10 1-m2 quadrats. The chain grid was used to define 100-m2 areas along the stream bed by repeatedly moving the 10-m2 rectangle upstream. Within each 100-m2 area, 30 systematically selected quadrats were sampled to estimate density and size class distribution of mussel populations. John B. Richardson, W. P. Smith

A Survey for Stoneflies in the Homochitto National Forest, Southwest Mississippi Streamside blacklight traps, aerial netting, and beating sheet samples of adult stoneflies were taken from streams of the Amite, Bayou Pierre, Buffalo and Homochitto River systems in the Homochitto National Forest of southwest Mississippi. Natchez (Alloperla natchez) and/or Chukcho (Haploperla chukcho) stoneflies, federal candidates for listing as threatened or endangered species, were found in 19 streams of the Homochitto River system, 3 streams of the Bayou Pierre system, and 1 stream of the Amite River system. Neither species was collected from tributaries of the Buffalo River. Carol L. Hardy, B. P. Stark, C. F. Boll, N. C. Phifer, Jr., W. T. Tharpe

An Ecological Approach to Managing Southern National Forests for Red-cockaded Woodpecker Recovery The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) recovery strategy is based on conservation biology principles. It implements landscape-scale management by identifying 26 habitat management areas (HMAs) totaling nearly 810,000 hectares. Within these designated HMAs, longer timber harvesting rotations will be established. Management intensity levels (MILs) will be established based on red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) population size.

Managing for Red-cockaded Woodpeckers and Neotropical Migrants—Is there a Conflict? Because managing pine habitats for red-cockaded woodpeckers (Picoides borealis) may result in reductions in habitat for certain neotropical migrant species, an apparent conflict exists between these species when managing stands of pine. However, other high priority species are likely to increase in areas managed for red-cockaded woodpeckers. The Partners in Flight prioritization scheme and research on bird-habitat relationships indicate that most high priority neotropical migrants in the East Gulf Coastal Plain are managed for best in bottomland hardwoods.

Effect of Hurricane Andrew on Louisiana's Nesting Bald Eagles Hurricane Andrew, a Class 3 storm, entered St. Mary Parish, Louisiana, on 26 August 1992. Sixty-one (59%) of the state's bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) nest territories were within the storm path, and, following the hurricane, 18 of these were classified as destroyed. Aerial nest survey data for 4 nesting seasons (1990-1994) were used to evaluate the effect of Hurricane Andrew on bald eagle reproductive success in Louisiana. Mean annual production per active territory was 1.40 (range 1.20-1.66) and per successful nest was 1.66 (range 1.45-1.85). Thomas J. Hess, Jr., W. G. Perry, W. Dubuc

The Decline, Recovery, and Captive Management Potential of the Puerto Rican Parrot Puerto Rican parrot (Amazona vittata) numbers declined precipitously and the species was on the verge of extinction by 1971 when the population fell to 19 birds, leaving only 16 remaining in the wild. An extensive study of the species was undertaken in 1968 and intensive wild and captive management was initiated. Both wild and captive populations have fluctuated but have demonstrated a trend toward moderately increasing numbers over the ensuing 25 years. This recovery and the role and potential of the captive breeding strategy for enhancing the recovery of this species is addressed.

Herpetofauna of Pitcher Plant Bogs and Adjacent Forests in Eastern Texas Species composition and relative abundance of amphibians and reptiles were examined in 5 pitcher plant bogs and adjacent forests in eastern Texas. The herpetofaunal communities of the bogs and forests were compared and changes throughout a year were traced. Amphibians and reptiles were censused using drift fence arrays with funnel traps and 15-minute time-area searches. In the bogs, 407 individuals of 28 species were recorded; 468 individuals of 28 species were counted in the forests. Jeffrey A. Reid, R. M. Whiting, Jr.

Trophy Largemouth Bass Regulations at Victor Braunig Reservoir, Texas The largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) fishery and population structure at Victor Braunig Reservoir, Texas, were monitored from 1985 through 1992 following changes in harvest restrictions from 254-mm minimum length and 10 fish daily bag limits to 533-minimum length and 2 fish daily bag limits. Harvest rates were significantly reduced under the more restrictive limits and averaged 0.002 fish/angler-hour. Mean weight of harvested fish increased from 0.85 kg to 3.22 kg. Michael E. Costello, R. W. Luebke

Evaluation of Reduced Striped Bass Bag Limit, Lake Texoma, Texas and Oklahoma We evaluated the effects of changing harvest regulations from 15 fish/ day (no more than 5 fish ≥508 mm) to 15 fish/day (no more than 1 fish ≥508 mm) for striped bass (Morone saxatilis) in Lake Texoma, Texas and Oklahoma. A stratified random creel survey was conducted for 2 years before and 4 years after the regulation change to determine striped bass harvest and directed angling pressure. Experimental gill nets were set at 15 stations each February for 3 years before and 4 years after the regulation change to estimate changes in the striped bass abundance and size structure. John H. Moczygemba, B. T. Hysmith

Release of Largemouth Bass Under Differential Size Limits Release of largemouth bass {Micropterus salmoides) by anglers licensed under 2 size limits were evaluated based on tag returns. Clarks Hill, Richard B. Russell, and Hartwell reservoirs, forming the boundary between Georgia and South Carolina, have different largemouth bass size restrictions on each side of the lake. Georgia imposes a 305-mm minimum length limit, whereas South Carolina imposes no size limit. Georgia anglers released a significantly greater (P ≤ 0.05) proportion of stock size (200-299 mm) bass than did South Carolina anglers. Edward A. Bettross, J. F. Jones, B. M. Saul

To reduce mortality of crappie Pomoxis spp. caught from deep water in winter, beginning in 1991 the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) replaced the statewide 254-mm minimum length limit for crappie with a mandatory harvest regulation during December through February on Lake Fork Reservoir. The special regulation required anglers to harvest the first 25 crappie, regardless of size, with no catch-and-release or culling.

Lake Nacogdoches was opened to fishing in 1978 with 254-mm minimum size and 10-fish daily bag limits for black basses (Micropterus spp.). Heavy fishing pressure likely resulted in initial overharvest of largemouth bass during the first 3 weeks after opening. To restore the population, 406-mm minimum length and 3-fish daily bag limits were imposed in 1979. Under these regulations, the bass densities increased, but stockpiling just below the minimum length occurred within 5 years.

A Late Spring Survey of Pelagic Prey in Lake Moultrie, South Carolina—Implications for Management We performed a hydroacoustic survey of fishes in Lake Moultrie, South Carolina, in May 1993. Pelagic fish densities were less than 70/ha with an average size of approximately 13 cm; densities of benthic fishes, most likely catfishes (Ictalurus spp.), were much higher, approximately 600/ha. Fish densities encountered in May were nearly 2 orders of magnitude less than either those reported in 32 years of fall rotenone surveys or in fall hydroacoustic surveys in upstream reservoirs. Confirmation of these low fish densities will require expanding sampling efforts. R. L. Kasul, J. P. Kirk, s. D. Lamprecht, J. W. Preacher

An illegally introduced exotic fish species has now become a significant and extremely popular fishery in the Everglades Water Conservation Areas (WCA's). The oscar (Astronotus ocellatus) was accidentally introduced in the 1950s and became established in south Florida waterways. A gradual range expansion occurred; however, oscar populations remained low until the mid-1980s. For approximately 25 years, catches were infrequent and singular. Following an unexplained and accelerated population expansion, angler catches became more frequent and multiple.

An Evaluation of Phase II Palmetto and Sunshine Bass Co-stockings in the Escambia River, Florida Equal numbers of tagged sunshine bass (Morone chrysops female X M. saxatilis male) and palmetto bass {Morone saxatilis female x M. chrysops male) were stocked in the Escambia River for 4 years to determine which striped bass hybrid was better suited for stocking based on tag returns. Total tag return rates after 4 years was 11.2% for sunshine bass and 10.1% for palmetto bass. Over 90% of all tag returns occurred during the first 9 months after stocking. There was no consistent difference found in return rates between palmetto and sunshine bass.

A roving creel survey was conducted on the Greers Ferry tailwater, Arkansas, from 1988 through 1992. Estimated angler use was high, averaging 295,319 angler hours and 1,006.5 angler hours per hectare annually. Estimated harvest of rainbow trout was high and consisted of mostly catchable size, stocked fish. Only 25% of rainbow trout caught were released. Catch of trophy size brown trout declined after the implementation of a 406-mm (16-inch) minimum length 2 fish per day creel limit in January 1990. Darrell W. Bowman, T. R. Bly, S. P. Filipek, C. A.

Effects of Dam Removal on Dead Lake, Chipola River, Florida Removal of Dead Lake Dam in December 1987 reduced low pool elevation an additional 1.3 m, resulting in approximately 85 percent bottom exposure. Increased fluctuation provided short-term benefits to the sport fish community in the form of strong largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) year classes and improved water quality. Percent composition of dominant sport fish changed little after dam removal, but total fish species observed increased from 34 to 61 after dam removal. Michael J. Hill, E. A. Long, S. Hardin

Observations on Electrofishing Techniques for Three Catfish Species in Mississippi Mississippi Office of Pollution Control staff collected catfish from 69 sites from 1991-1994 for contaminant monitoring. Of these, 12 sites were sampled 5 or more times per year. Environmental conditions varied dramatically between site and season facilitating observations for effects of both intersite variability (e.g., water conductivity and manipulation of pulsator settings) and intrasite seasonal variability (e.g., water temperature and river stage).

Comparison of Electrofishing and Gill Netting for Sampling Gizzard Shad Gill netting (mesh sizes from 13 to 64 mm) and electrofishing were conducted in April and October 1987-1989, to compare their utility for providing precise estimates of relative abundance and size structure of gizzard shad (Dorosoma cepedianum) populations in 2 Ozark impoundments. Catches of gizzard shad <120 mm were extremely variable for electrofishing and very low for gill netting and were excluded from further analysis. Electrofishing captured more gizzard shad ≥120 mm with less effort (68-339 fish/hour) than gill netting (2-48 fish/net day).

Hoop Net Selectivity and Catch Rates for Channel Catfish A 2-phase study of 6 variations of hoop nets was conducted in 3 Louisiana lakes to determine if mesh size or the addition of escape rings could be used to regulate the catch of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) in hoop nets. Commercial and recreational fishermen in Louisiana must abide by a 279.4-mm minimum total length restriction during a year long season. A total of 10,226 channel catfish were caught in 1,033 net days during both phases of the study. In Phase 1, 25.4-, 28.6-, and 31.8-mm (bar) mesh hoop nets were fished. Michael R. Walker, G.

Retention of Coded Wire Tags by Juvenile Striped Bass We evaluated microtag retention in fingerling striped bass (mean total length: 58.5 mm) that were tagged during routine hatchery operations. Striped bass were tagged vertically in the cheek muscle using a Northwest Marine Technology Mark IV tagging machine. Tags were implanted dorsal to ventral, approximately 2 mm deep. During each of 10 days of tagging, 24 tagged fish were randomly selected and placed into each of 4 865-liter circular tanks. At 11-13 weeks after tagging, retention averaged 92.4%. Julie Wallin, M.

Predicting Sportfish Along the Lake Trophic Gradient The Trophic State Index (TSI) has been widely used to rank and classify lakes and has proven useful in limnological investigations, but it has not been widely used in fisheries investigations. Trophic State Index was developed from chlorophyll a (Chi a), total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), and Secchi disk (SD) transparency measurements for 69 Florida lakes. A combination of TSI parameters was used to develop multiple regression models to predict lake capacity for supporting sportfish biomass (kg/ha). Mohammed K. Alam, D. P. Gleckler

The age-size structure of gray snapper (Lutjanus griseus) from Ft. Pierce, Florida, to Grand Isle, Louisiana, was examined. Otolith sections from 432 fish collected in 1991 to 1993 were used to compare 2 methods (direct proportion and regression) of back-calculation of size at age. The observed age range was 1 to 25 years and the size range was 236 to 764 mm total length. Differences were observed in back-calculated sizes at age between the 2 back-calculation methods, between sexes and geographic divisions. Allyn G. Johnson, L. A. Collins, C. P. Keim

Wildlife and Forestry Shortcourses in South Carolina: A Success Story A landowner shortcourse entitled "Wildlife and Forest Management for Profit and Recreation" was developed to teach South Carolina landowners the basics of forest management that can be used to improve wildlife habitat. Between 1991 and mid-1994, 9 shortcourses were held throughout the state. Over 260 landowners and resource managers attended who owned over 40,000 ha or managed over 190,000 ha of land, respectively. Ninety-one percent of the respondents rated the shortcourses favorably. Robert M. Franklin, G. K. Yarrow

Focus Group Interviewing for Human Dimensions of Wildlife Research We investigated the usefulness of focus groups, an interview methodology, in human dimensions research. We used a focus group to interview people interested in wildlife conservation to determine the technique's efficacy in assessing public perception of wildlife habitat management on electric transmission line rights-of-way (ROWs). Most respondents had some basic knowledge of wildlife habitat needs and considered ROWs as potentially useful to wildlife. Respondents were concerned about the use of herbicides and generally preferred mechanical treatments. Brian N. Clark, J. M. Fly, D. A. Buehler, R. M. Evans

Sportfishing Promotion Council: A Model of Successful Public-Private Sector Outreach Partnerships Recreational fishing has been on a decline. This can be attributed to various reasons such as increasing numbers of single parent families, increased urbanization, and less leisure time. To help reverse this trend, the Sportfishing Promotion Council (SPC) is combining the marketing expertise of industry with the fishery management expertise of agencies into state-level partnerships that are successfully introducing more people to fishing and teaching about the conservation needs of aquatic habitats.

Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's Mobile Aquarium Project In January 1992, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission purchased an 11-m trailer mounted aquarium for use in its Aquatic Resources Education Program. Although quite costly and very labor intensive, this project has proven to be one of the finest public relations tools anyone could have imagined. Over .5 million people per year have viewed the 13,250-1 display in its first 2 years of operation. The display is erected at fairs, schools, boat shows, town festivals, fishing seminars, clinics, etc. It is often stocked with 25 or 30 different species of fish, all indigenous to Arkansas waters.
