2. Selective Breeding of Trout for Disease Resistance (FA: F-2-R). 



This project aims to develop methods for decreasing loss in rearing trout, through 

 testing of partially disease resistant strains (especially ulcer disease and furun- 

 culosis) and selective breeding from the best strains.

3. Stocking Survivals and Population Studies on Brown Trout. 



The project tests stocking methods, evaluates natural maintenance and gathers other 

 related data. This involves a continuous tagging study with newspaper and radio 

 publicity to get tag returns to test survivals of yearling and two-year-old sizes. 

 During 1952, a population study was made in Crystal Creek after 10 years without 

 stocking, to connpare with previous survival data involving stocking. 



West Canada Creek and Unadilla River (Oneida Co. ), Cherry Valley Creek (Otsego 

 Co. ), and Crystal Creek (Lewis Co. ); began in 1940, indefinite; $500; progress 

 reports in N. Y. Dept. of Conservation Annual Report.

4. Landlocked Salmon Project. 



The study endeavors to determine practical methods for increasing landlocked salmon 

 in New York State waters and to guide in the management of salmon in waters 

 where fishing has been built up. Results have been obtained with Atlantic salmon 

 as well as with supposed landlocked strains of this species. Experiments with 

 red salmon (sock-eye) in lakes are included. 



Statewide, in suitable waters; began in 1944, indefinite; $12,000; Information Bulletin 

 1948 and progress reports in New York Conservation Dept. Annual Reports.

5. Stillwater Pond Trout Project. 



Work is under way to determine methods for managing brook trout and to manage the 

 fishing on a practical scale in a lake on a state park, adapted to accurate creel 

 census, stocking and population control. 



Stillwater Pond, Fahnstock Park (Putnam Co. ); began in 1941, indefinite; $500;
