3. Fisheries Management in New Jersey Lakes and Ponds (FA: F-3-R in part). 



Fish populations are being manipulated in certain ponds through the State to produce 

 better fishing. Predaceous species are being introduced in some lakes and in 

 the bass-rearing ponds at the State Hatchery forage species such as the freshwater 

 shrimp, spearing and anchovy are being tested. The desirability of using fish 

 concentrators to increase the panfish harvest and the practicality of alkalizing 

 larger acid waters supporting bass and bluegills are being investigated. 



Statewide; began November 1, 1952, continuing; $12,000.

4. Landlocked Salnmon Investigation. 



The possibility of establishing landlocked salmon fisheries in certain New Jersey 

 lakes will be determined. A creel census is being conducted on trout lakes and 

 the movements and reproduction of trout in the lakes is being studied. 



Sussex and Warren Counties; indefinite; $2,000.

5. Pickerel Investigation. 



This project is aimed at determining the annual harvest of pickerel in certain New 

 Jersey lakes, the effects of ice fishing and a possible increase in minimum size 

 limit upon the abundance of this species. 



Northern New Jersey, indefinite; $2,000.

7. Bass Stocking Experiments. 



The objectives of this project are to establish the minimum size of bass that may 

 be stocked in certain lakes and to determine the practicability of stocking large- 

 mouth bass in acid lakes where it is known they do not leproduce. 



Statewide; 5 years; $2,000.
