Parasites, diseases, and disease control of Great Lakes anadromous and commercial fish - This 

 project is a part of a large research program on fish parasites and fish diseases at 

 Michigan's State Fish Pathology Laboratory at Grayling. It is a study of red worm of yellow 

 perch and of bacteria associated with seasonal mortality of the alewife.

Great Lakes fish resource development study - This project is undertaken to develop a study 

 outline for an evaluation of the current fisheries management programs on Lakes Huron, Michigan, 

 and Superior. 



Minnesota 4-39-R Charles Burrows %1Z,L.21 



Minnesota commercial fisheries improvement - Factors determining the commercial catch of bur- 

 bot, sauger, tullibee, and yellow pike in the American waters of Lake of the Woods are 

 investigated. Catches are examined to determine the condition of the fish and size groups 

 harvested. . - . 



Minnesota AFC-2 •• Richard Hassinger,, Completed 1968 



Anadromous fish habitat development - A survey was made of the needs for improvements of 

 .•spawning habitat and streams' used by Great Lakes fish that enter streams tributary to the

Establishment of the seasonal distribution and availability of commercial fish species in the 

 waters of Nebraska - An electrical barrier and trap are used to collect fish on the North 

 Platte River about 2 miles upstream from McConaughby Reservoir. Numbers, weight, time of 

 capture, age composition, and sexual maturity are recorded for all species captured. 



Nevada 6-9-R James E. Deacon $107,778 



Rearing bait fishes in the desert Southwest - This project is designed to determine the pres- 

 ent volume and value of baitfish by species and the present sources and capability for expanslo. 

 and to estimate future market needs based on present and projected visitor-use of the Lake 

 Mead Recreation Area. Nevada Southern University is making this study. 



New Mexico 6-11-R Douglas B. Jester $15,000 



Investigation on commercial fishery potential of rough fish species - New Mexico State 

 University is gathering and analyzing data to determine the feasible utilization of underused 

 fish species in Elephant Butte and Caballo Reservoirs. The population structure, growth 

 characteristics, seasonal movement, concentrations, and harvest methods for the buffalofishes, 

 river oarpsucker, carp, and gizzard shad are being investigated.
