1. Statewide Fisheries Investigations (FA: F-l-R). 



Management plans are being developed through surveys of South Dakota waters and 

 biological investigations of fish populations.

1. Age and Growth of Pan Fishes in Beaver Lake, South Dakota. 



This is a study to determine the extent of stunting of the pan-fishes taken by anglers. 

 Recommendations for the proper management of the fish populations will be based 

 upon the growth data obtained. 



Beaver Lake, Yankton County; began July 1952, indefinite; $20.

1. Investigations of Waters Below Storage Reservoirs (FA: F-l-R). 



The investigation consists of a detailed study of the environmental conditions and the 

 methods of fish management in waters which are released below the dams in stor- 

 age reservoirs. Determinations are being made of fish populations, bottom organ- 

 isms, plankton, and aquatic plants. Chennical and physical conditions are investi- 

 gated and studies are made on the amount of natural reproduction and growth of 

 trout. Plantings of fingerling trout are being made to determine the m>st suitable 

 species for planting and the relative survival rates that can be expected. 



Various tailwaters in East Tennessee; began June 1951, planned for 3 years; $9,721; 



quarterly progress reports available.

2. Creel Census and Population Studies (FA: F-Z-R). 



The object of this study is to obtain basic information for the management of large 

 bodies of water in Tennessee. Creel census, population studies, and growth data 

 are being collected on Dale Hollow and Center Hill Reservoirs and onReelfoot Lake. 

 Population estimates are made annually. Chemical and physical data are being 

 collected on the lakes concerned. Gill nets and trap nets are being used in cold 

 weather periods for fish population estimates.
