15. Bruner Creek Project (31-FRD-l). 



The primary objective of this project is to obtain records of survival of hatchery- 

 reared and wild trout under controlled conditions. The prelinninary experiment 

 was initiated primarily to observe operational procedures which may be applied 

 in future small strearn investigations and fisheries management procedures.

16. Experimental Study of the Artificial Propagation of the Burbot, Lota lota maculosa 

 (Proj. 32-FR-l). 



To determine by experimentation the possibility and practicality of hatching and 

 rearing burbot (ling) under hatchery conditions. 



Cokeville, Lincoln County; began January 1952, to close July 1953; $500; Graiit O.

17. Sand Creek Trout Population Studies (33-FR-2). 



This project was set up to nnake a relative, quantitative census of fish populations 

 on a portion of Sand Creek in order to determine trout planting needs. Scale 

 samples for supplemental growth data on brown trout have been collected. A 

 cross section of trout were tagged for migration studies. Data collected will 

 be analyzed for subsequent management use. 



Crook County; began July 1950, closed January 1953; $300; Fred. M. Eiserman,

and Fish Commission, Cheyenne, Wyo. 



18. A Preliminary Ecological Study of Clear Creek, Johnson County (34-FR-2). 



The production and carrying capacity of Clear Creek for trout, the condition of the 

 stream environment and its effect on the trout were determined in order to estab- 

 lish a stocking policy that will yield a maximum catch for the anglers. 



Began January 1, 1951, closed March 30, 1953; $1,025; John W. MueUer, Fisheries 



Biologist.

19. Life History and Management Study of Rocky Mountain Whitefish in Wyoming 

 (35-FR-6). 



This project looks toward the establishment of a management program for the white- 

 fish in Wyoming, based upon the relationship of this species to the fisheries of the 

 State. In conjunction with this, determinations will be Tna.de as to the competition
