1. Spawning Periods for the Various Game and Major Forage Fishes (Proj. 28). 



The objective is to determine when and where the various fishes spawn in order 

 to evaluate the results of natural spawning and to determine where corrective 

 measures might be used to increase the reproduction of desired species.

2. Food Habits of Major Game Species (Proj. 29). 



The objective is to determine the foods used by the major species and to find where 

 any weaknesses may occur in the food chain and possibly some corrective 

 measures which might be instituted to provide more adequate food supplies.

3. Biological Inventory of Jackson Lake and Lonetree Reservoirs (Proj. 30). 



The objective is to acquire needed basic data on physical, chemical and biological 

 factors which are influencing the fish production in typical fluctuating-water-level 

 reservoirs.

4. Age and Growth Studies on Major Game Species (Proj. 31). 



The objective is to set a standard by which the changes in growth rates may be 

 evaluated, and to determine success or failure of year-classes.

1. Development of Field Testing Procedures for Inorganic Plant Nutrients Dissolved 

 in Pond Waters (FA: F-3-R). 



The project aims to develop simple field tests for nitrogen, phosphorus, and potas- 

 sium compounds used by plants in water. The procedure to be followed falls into 

 three steps: A review of the pertinent literature, development in the laboratory
