3. The Fishery of Clearwater Reservoir. 



The project is designed to provide a measure of species composition, relative 

 species abundance, age and growth of game and rough fishes; a detailed study 

 of the small-fish population; a study of population dynamics of both small-fish 

 and large-fish populations within a virgin reservoir; a study of the limnology of 

 the reservoir with emphasis upon the benthos. 



Clearwater Reservoir, Southeast Mo. ; Conservation Commission and Univ. of Mo. 

 cooperating; began July 1948, planned for 5 years; Robert S. Campbell and Mercer 

 Patriarche, Project Leaders; paper being prepared for publication.

4. The Fishery of Ashland Reservoir. 



The project is designed to evaluate the fishery of Ashland Reservoir, a 14-year-old 

 impoundment of 19 acres. The study includes species composition, relative 

 species abundance, age and growth of the population, a measure of harvest by 

 creel census, and a study of the limnology of the reservoir, including a measure 

 of the rate of siltation.

in 1948, planned for 5 years.

5. The Limnology of Missouri Farm Ponds with Reference to Fishes. 



Workers investigate the linmology of several representative Missouri farm ponds. 

 The studies ennphasize the limnology of ponds with emphasis on nitrogen and 

 phosphorus levels; a comparison of fertilized and unfertilized ponds; compari- 

 son of growth rates of fishes in fertilized and unfertilized farm ponds; and evalu- 

 ation of the effect of bottom-feeding fishes upon the linnnology. 



Vicinity of Colum.bia; Conservation Commission and Univ. of Mo. cooperating; began 

 in 1945, planned for 10 years; Robert S. Campbell, Howard Zeller, Ralph M. 

 Burress, and Joseph Hendricks, Project Leaders.

6. The Limnology of a Strip-mine Waste Polluted Stream and the Relation of Pollution 

 to Kill and Distribution of Fishes. 



The limnology of Cedar Creek, a stream subject to pollution by acid waters from 

 strip-mine spills, is being studied to evaluate the effect of intermittent pollution 

 on the chemistry and the biota, including fishes, of the stream; to measure the 

 abundance and distribution of fishes with reference to intermittent pollution; and 

 to study the dynamics of pollution spread and kill. Regular sampling of Cedar 

 Creek is involved.
