1. Tolerance Limits of Toxic Industrial Waste Constituents on Salmon and Other Marine 

 Organisms. 



The various types of Sainton, silver smelt, herring, and typical fish food organ- 

 isms are subjected to varying concentrations of industrial waste constituents in 

 flowing and stagnant water aquaria and the effects as to mortalities or damage 

 noted. Tests are made in salt and fresh water or combinations thereof. The 

 object is to determine the concentration which may cause damage in each case 

 and to apply the results to the pollution control program. Calcium- and magnesium- 

 base liquor fronn the sulphite pulping process, condensates and bleach liquors 

 from kraft process, chlorine, cyanides, metal ions, soaps, detergents, arsenic, 

 and oil will be used in the program as presently planned. 



Bown-ian Bay Marine Res. Station, Anacortes; Washington Pollution Control Commission 

 and the Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission cooperating; began April 1950, indefinite;

2. Saltwater Sport Fishery Investigation. 



This program encompasses the collection of salmon sport fishery statistics in Puget 

 Sound. Through a system of reports and actual field checks accurate estima- 

 tions of the intensity of the fishery and the resulting catch is tabulated. In addi- 

 tion to the statistical compilation, field data is collected on the age and size 

 composition of the recreational salmon catch. A study of the efficiency of various 

 lures is also being conducted in this investigation. 



Puget Sound and Strait of Juan De Fuca; began March 1948, continuing; $13, 730; James 

 Fitzgerald, Project Leader; printed report will be available June 1953.

3. Elwha River Dam Study. 



The objectives of this study are to determine the mortalities that occur when young 

 migrating salmon are passed through the power turbines or over high dams. 

 Several species of salmon and different size groups are being used for these tests. 

 After passing through the turbines or over the dam, the fish are recovered by fyke 

 nets for examination.
