8. An Investigation of the Fresh-water Fisheries of Mount Desert Island (FA: F-2-R). 



Two coastal lakes deemed suitable for management of the land-locked salmon and 

 eastern brook trout are being surveyed to obtain information on interrelation- 

 ships of existing populations of warm-water and cold-water game species; to 

 increase natural reproduction of salmon; to establish a natural run of alewives 

 by stocking; to determine the effects of ice-fishing on salmon trout; and to study 

 spawning habits, survival rates, and returns to the angler of hatchery-reared, 

 land-locked salmon and eastern brook trout planted in the lakes. 



Began April 1950, planned for about 4 years; $1, 320; mimeographed report available.

9. Reclamation of Potential Trout Ponds (FA: F-6-R). 



Seven ponds were reclaimed in the State during the summer of 1951. These ponds 

 are being studied to determine the results of restocking. Information gathered 

 will be used in determining the possibilities of reclaiming other ponds, the 

 proper methods to be used, and the probable value to the angler. 



Kennebec County; began June 1951, planned for 3 years; $2, 799; mimeographed report 



available.

1. Atlantic Salmon Restoration (Proj. 86c). 



The objectives of this project are to obtain biological information in cooperation 

 with state agencies in Maine to aid restorative measures. The Aroostook River 

 will be surveyed above and below dams to reinstitute cooperation in fishway con- 

 struction with Canadians. It also includes a detailed study of river discharges 

 and fishway designs. A survey of spawning and rearing areas was completed in 

 1951.
