1. A Statewide Survey of Fishing Pressure and Fish Resources in New Hampshire 

 (FA: F-2-R). 



The establishment of the New England-New York Inter -Agency Committee has made 

 essential the accumulation of data relative to fishing pressure, natura' reproduc- 

 tion of fish, and the economic importance of fishing within New Hampshire. All 

 data of a similar nature collected in the past will also be summarized and analyzed. 



Statewide; continuing; $15,000; David L,. White, Statistician, Arthur Riel, Assistant 



Leader .

2. A Study of Bass Production in New Hampshire Waters (FA: F-3-R). 



This is a study of the warm water game fish in the State. Activities will include 

 investigations of fish population densities and species ratios, reproductive 

 capacities of largemouth and smallmouth bass, effects of fishing pressure upon 

 bass in Bow Lake, and the relationship of bass to forage fish and invertebrates. 



Statewide, headquarters Bow Lake, Strafford; continuing; $10,000.

3. Game Fish Management (FA: F-4-D). 



This project was set up as a medium through which to apply currently known fish 

 management measures, and as a proving ground for new techniques as they are 

 developed in research projects. Small pools are being operated in cooperation 

 with sportsnnen's clubs, in which bass fry are raised to fingerling size aided 

 by the application of fertilizers and then planted where surveys indicate they are 

 . needed. Sevaral ponds are being reclaimed; crayfish are being stocked in bass 

 ponds; and fish shelters constructed where needed. 



Statewide; continuing; $5,000.

4. Trout Streams Investigation (FA: F-5-R). 



This is a long-term study in two watersheds, one of which has short trout streams 

 and the other, borderline trout streams. Attempts will be made to determine 

 angling intensity and success; composition of fish populations by species, age, 

 and size groups; natural reproductive success; stocking success; and beaver -trout 

 relationships. Fish migrations will also be studied. 



Swift River and its tributaries in Albany and Livermore, and Stevens Brook and its 



tributaries in Sutton; indefinite; $11,257.
