collections. Age groups 1 and II were repre- 

 sented by only one fish each in 1948, and in 

 1949 by nine and one fish, respectively. One 

 individual of age group III was found in 1949. 



Yellow perch: --Age groups 0,1, and II 

 of yellow perch were present in 1948 but only 

 young-of -the -year and fish of age group I were 

 found in 1949 (Table 17). These recoveries, 

 together with those of 1951 and 1952, suggest 

 that adult yellow perch were either not abun- 

 dant in the vicinity or that they do not frequent 

 the habitat type studied during the summer 

 months . The largest fish in the combined 

 collections was 7 .4 inches in length. 



Catfish 



Channel catfish: --Forty of the 46 channel 

 catfish recovered in 1948 ranged from 8.0 to 

 21 .9 inches in length (Table 11). Within this 

 measured sample 24 fish were in the 16.0-19.9- 

 inch size range. In 1949 the size spread of the 

 40 specimens collected was 15.0 to 24.9 inches 

 and 25 of these fell within the 18.0-21 .9-inch 

 interval . No attempt was made to determine the 

 ages of the channel catfish. 



Flathead catf ish : - -Two flathead catfish 

 with total lengths of 21 .2 and 21 .4 inches were 

 recovered in 1948. None were observed in 1949.
