1. Culture of Threadfin Shad (signalosa). 



During the spring of 1952, adult threadfin were transferred from vicinity of Tupelo, 

 Mississippi, and propagated at Farlington, Kansas, Station. Releases of about 

 1,000 adults have been accomplished in each of two impoundments, Farlington 

 and Kanapolis Lakes, in cooperation with the Kansas Forestry Fish and Game 

 Commission. 



U. S. Fish Culture Station, Farlington; began in 1952, planned for 2 years; $70.00.

1. Kentucky Lake Investigations (FA: F-2-R). 



A project designed to evaluate the effectiveness of various types of netting gear 

 used under different conditions for the harvest of rough fishes, as well as their 

 selectivity for game fishes. Data on percentage of harvest, degree of movement 

 and age and growth of important game species are also being collected in the 

 lake and in the river below the dam. 



Kentucky Lake and Lower Tennessee River; began July 1951, planned for 2 ^^^ years;

2. Farm Fish Pond Investigation (FA: F-3-R in part). 



The objective of this project is to improve upon stocking ratios and species combi- 

 nations now being used so as to provide the best fishing possible in small reser- 

 voirs. Attention is also being given to diversity of soil types, chemistry of the 

 water, pond size and location, and the use of fertilizer. 



Statewide; began January 1948, continuing; William Smith, Proj. Ldr. ; first report 



in the Journal of Wildlife Management, Vol. 16, No. 3.

3. Warm-water Stream Investigation (FA: F-4-R). 



Changes in species composition are being manipulated in streams carrying an alnnost 

 wholly rough fish population. Two streams have already had the entire popula- 

 tion removed and liave been restocked with game and pan fishes. No effort has 

 been made to control migration. In some cases, an electrical screen will be 

 placed down stream to prevent migration into treated areas. 



Statewide; began July 1951, planned for 4 years; James Charles, Proj. Ldr.
