1. Fish Population Investigation (FA: F-l-R). 



This project was set up to sample fish populations in selected areas. Collections 

 will be made by using rotenone, nets, traps, and seines. The relationship be-

 cess of natural reproduction will be determined. This information will be used 

 in planning the distribution of fish obtained through fish rescue operations.
