66. Effect of Terramycin on Furunculosis in Brown Trout. 



Experiments are under way to find an antibiotic which is effective and feasible for 

 control of furunculosis in brown trout at hatcheries where a sulfa-resistant strain 

 has developed. Test treatment with terramycin is employed against control. 



State Fish Hatchery, Grayling; began July 1952, for one season; $377; L.. N. Allison,

67. Occurrence of Furiinculosis in Rainbow Trout from Great Lakes. 



The incidence and origin of furunculosis is being investigated in "wild" lake run rain- 

 bows specifically from Lake Huron into the East Branch of the Au Gres River 

 where disease was first reported. Histological examination of preserved kidneys 

 and cultures of fresh material is made when available. 



Streams tributary to Great Lakes, specifically the East Branch of the Au Gras 

 River; began April 1952, indefinite; $551; L. N. Allison, Proj. Ldr.

68. Pine River Watershed Project (FA: F-5-D). 



This is an operational land use program designed to improve fishing conditions by 

 the installation of practices and/or devices on both the uplands and the stream 

 channels of the watershed. Work includes; stream improvement structures 

 (deflectors, covers, dams, etc.); bank stabilization; and streamside fencing. 

 The upland work includes: tree planting for shade and erosion control; grass 

 waterways; small impoundnnents; and general farm program conservation 

 measures. Compared to tne Rifle River program, the Pine River operations 

 include a considerably higher percentage of the work on the stream program, 

 primarily on erosion control of the stream channels. 



Pine River drainage in Wexford, Lake, and Osceola Counties; planned for 3 years; 



$70,000.

69. Watershed Surveys and Management Plans (FA: F-4-R). 



The project will feature compilation of technical information on all watersheds of the 

 State and provide plans for development of improved fishing conditions within 

 them._ Work will involve the assembly of available information, the classification 

 of watershed areas, establish detailed priority for work and develop necessary 

 maps and plans for the management to follow. 



Statewide; began (FA) October 1952, indefinite; $35,000.
