6. 6. Effect of Metabolic Products Upon the Carrying Capac-ty of Ponds and Troughs 



(Proj. 38). 



The objective is to study the products of metabolism that limit the numbers and 

 weight of fish that may be held in hatchery equipinent and to develop methods 

 for their control.

1. Fishing Access Areas. 



It is the aim of this project to make available to the fishing public of the State 

 those waters which provide good sport fishing, but are unavailable because 

 of limitations of private property or physical terrain. The project is carried 

 out by purchasing small tracts, by obtaining ♦:ransfers from other public 

 agencies, or by long-term lease arrangements. These areas are cleared and 

 developed as parking sites for cars and boat trailers, and boat launching 

 points are provided. It is being carried out on waters of the State which pro- 

 vide fishing for warm-water species. 



Statewide; began July 195Z, indefinite; $25,000; Buford Tatum, Project Leader.

2. Fish Management Investigations of Coastal Streams (FA: F-2-R). 



The basic objective is to dscover the corrective measure necessary to increase 

 the abundance of game fish in the coastal streams of North Carolina. This 

 includes determination of the game fish and non-game fish populations in rep- 

 resentative streams, the limiting factor in game fish production, the nnost 

 practical means of eliminating the limiting factor with emphasis on the removal 

 of the unwanted fish species with a minimum of harm to the desired game 

 species, and the effect of the removal of the limiting factor on game fish 

 species. Legislation or regulations will be recommended consistent with the 

 findings. Methods will include standard fish sampling techniques. Compara- 

 tive populations will be collected before non-game fish removal and after this 

 operation. Tagging, age and growth, numerical abundance, and angling success 

 will be used as indices of effect on populations on three representative areas.
