1. Stream and Lake Surveys (FA: F-2-R). 



An inventory of the biological, physical, and chemical features of the lakes and 

 streams of the State is being made. This information will furnish a sound basis 

 upon which to formulate stocking procedures, stream improvement programs, 

 and other pertinent methods of improving the angling of the State.

2. Lakes Mead and Mohave Investigations (FA: F-l-R). 



A survey is being made of Lakes Mead and Mohave in an effort to determine the 

 best techniques for fishery management in these waters. Lake Mohave is just 

 coming into production. Investigations are expected to show the changes that 

 took place as the Colorado River was converted into this reservoir. Data will 

 then be compared to Lake Mead data to see what similarities, differences, and 

 trends exist. Catch by fishermen, evidences of natural reproduction, and analy- 

 ses of the fish populations are receiving attention.
