1. Farm Pond Investigations (FA: F-l-R). 



Information from this project will be applicable to at least 30,000 ponds. Twenty- 

 nine ponds are being used for these investigations and they have been stocked with 

 the following species: largemouth bass, redear sunfish, bluegill, white and black 

 crappie, fathead minnows, and channel catfish. All ponds will be open to public 

 fishing and record of catch made. The main objectives of the project are to de- 

 termine the most desirable species combinations for stocking farm ponds, to better 

 understand pond limnology, age, growth and food habits of individual species.

2. Lake Hefner Project. 



This study is mainly concerned with the fish populations and related biology of the 

 Lake. Some time is also devoted to the propagation of fishes at the Hefner cul- 

 ture ponds and the management of small ponds on the reservation. Age, growth 

 and creel census data are expected to reveal the value of intensive non-game fish 

 removal.

3. Status of the Walleye, Stizoste dion vitreum vitreum, in Canton Reservoir. 



Since the walleye is a new fish in Oklahoma waters , the main objectives of this 



project are to determine (1) the rate of growth, (2) if they will spawn in Oklahoma 

 waters, (3) what part will they have in the creel, (4) should additional plantings 

 be made in other lakes, and (5) what effect it has on the overall population density 

 of Canton Reservoir.
