 (Project 220). 



Test netting is being carried out in many of the large Missouri impoundments in 

 September and October of each year to nrieasure trends in abundance of several 

 species of fish, follow the development of pop\ilations in new reservoirs, and 

 obtain material for age and growth studies. Data are evaluated on the basis of 

 catch per type of gear used in conjunction. 



Statewide; began August 1949, indefinite; $4, 700.
